Pros

fast growing future is bright

Cons

The culture feels unusual, with many leadership roles filled through referrals from Okta. There’s limited room for growth, as the company tends to prioritize external hires. Employees often hesitate to speak openly due to concerns about potential retaliation.

Pros

Great Product Market Fit Large TAM Growing Innovation Remote work Outside of Sales Development org a great opportunity

Cons

Toxic and Narcissistic Sales Development Leadership The core issue stems from the Director level in the Sales Development department, which affects the entire structure, including middle management. Extreme favoritism is prevalent, with a primary focus on personal success and numbers, rather than team growth or well-being. Leadership is willing to manipulate situations, even to the point of setting employees up for termination without their control or knowledge. If you’re considering an interview or currently working within this Sales Development team, proceed with caution, or better yet, avoid joining this department.
