Pros

The senior leadership team for the most part is great. Experienced crew. Product has a lot of potential Growing fast even during COVID 50% of leadership is women

Cons

*Speaking specifically about the sales department* - long hours (8:30am-6pm minimum, later if you aren’t tracking towards goals) - commission structure is tough. For SDRs, only paid out on deals closed NOT opportunities, but are expected to book 3 meetings per day. Results in SDRs booking bogus/unqualified deals just to hit the insane metrics - unlimited PTO but you are basically encouraged not to take time off. You operate on a month to month sales cycle so more than 2 days off your basically guaranteed to not hit your quota. - don’t make any commission until you hit an accelerator which is typically more than 50% of your quota - very little structure or management when it comes to promotions - sales reps are treated like children - vastly underpaid compared to industry norm - very little training for employees - very high turnover. Most employees who have written the other reviews on here are employees who’ve worked I would guess at Levitate for less than one year and are still bright eyed and bushy tailed. I could count on one hand the amount of employees with more than a year of experience still there on the sales side, seems like everyone leaves or gets fired and management says nothing - very little empathy shown to employees

Pros

Working at Levitate you'll quickly realized that it isn't just about the work. The culture and crew at Levitate prioritize play about as much as work. The team at Levitate does an amazing job celebrating the individuals achievements to the extent that you feel like you're actually involved with the success of the company. In short I consider my time working at Levitate to be the best working experience of my life. And along the way I feel like I made some of the best connections and progress in the field which undoubtably has given me the experience to excel wherever else I go in life.

Cons

Just know that you are going to be working for a start up. with that comes high highs and low lows. it can be a lot of work especially on the closing side to keep the company competitive and the customers happy.

Pros

Good place to cut your teeth in B2B tech Income can be lucrative if you develop a solid process

Cons

Churn rate is decently high, but I’d say standard for entry level tech.
