AVOID! NO transparency and LOTS of internal meetings (way to micromanage)
Pros
- Free swag every winter and summer season (not exactly a massive pro as most SaaS companies provide this) -Catered lunch 3 times a week to the office prior to COVID19 shut down - Great view from the Sydney CBD office however we are moving end of this year to North Sydney (that was not made known during myinterview) - Private health insurance (again,pretty much most US-tech companies provide this)
Cons
- Base salaries for AEs are generally a lot lower in comparison to other big tech companies - Very metric-driven sales approach (everything from prospecting calls, # of emails, initial meeting, subsequent meeting, number of opps added) are looked at by management - Poor work life balance. Managers expect you to work even after hours, without showing any appreciation. WFH is NOT encouraged - You will spend at least 10 hours a week of internal meetings (pipeline, catch-ups, "coaching" etc) just as a way for them to micromanage you - Promises so much (eg: realistic quota) but fails to deliver this. Ramping up amount is not as promised in the initial interview
