Pros

The company's culture is really cool and there are a lot of room for advancement. You have opportunities to get a lot of work perks because apparently my office write everything off from snacks to beers. So it is mandatory to drink with the office every Friday. If you don't go... well tough luck with the team.

Cons

No work life balance. I get asked to go into work at 8am for a team breakfast and then get asked to stay behind for a team building event that starts at 8pm. Obviously from 5pm to 8pm you are working unpaid over time and then I pretty much will not make it home until 10pm from the team building event. If you bring up the issue you are basically threaten to leave because you didn't drink the "cool-aid".

Pros

The product is cool and if properly onboarded customers will get value from it. Coworkers are fairly social If you are new to sales would be a good place to learn the basics

Cons

Probably the cheapest company I have ever worked for. Benefits are below standard, they changed the commission plan every year I was there so that you would make less money, and you are expected to share hotel rooms when you travel. Look up Meltwater on Reddit or LinkedIn. They are known for very aggressive sales tactics which you will be forced to implement on your customers. A culture of micromanagement that comes from the top down. Virtually no avenue for promotion unless you are willing to move or get lucky and someone leaves.
