Unfortunately, sales just aren't happening in the B2B space. If you want a job literally in any other department, you're set up for security and stability, but the quotas are increasingly becoming unattainable. Most sales are occurring with getting accounts that already exist to become "sales-assisted" or upgrade, but net new simply isn't occurring at the rate that people are being pushed at. There's also pressure to sell "AI" even though you cannot sell per license but to an entire workspace, making it one of the most expensive products on the market on top of the fact that it simply doesn't compete with current competitors. Don't join the sales org here, run away.

Lots of bespoke, homegrown technologies — not inherently a con, but does mean there's a steeper learning curve and more surface area to maintain ourselves. As a company, we're still learning how to effectively plan and execute a roadmap, collaborate across teams, and balance feature development with responding to users' needs. During times of normalcy, there's little flexibility for remote work. Hopefully the current pandemic gives us an opportunity to learn how to do it well. Several attempts at recurring team events (board game nights, etc.) have fallen through. I suspect people are less likely to attend because they're working hard and/or have families, and the company is still quite small. Recently there was some turnover without much communication to the company about what happened. Obviously sensitivity and privacy are crucial, but the lack of communication can trigger feelings of unease, like things are being pushed under the rug (regardless of whether or not that's the case). It would be nice to give employees some kind of stipend for working from home.
