Avantages
Flexible work environment and the ability to make my own schedule was nice. My boss was really helpful in developing my sales skills. If you're in the office in Troy it's a decent space with free snacks and drinks. Unlimited PTO sounds nice, although I never really felt like I could take much time off. They give a $900 yearly stipend for wellness, which you can use for a gym membership or hobby or just about anything within reason.
Inconvénients
Plex seems to be pigeonholed as a solution for automotive companies and suppliers, which is not good for you if you're trying to sell it in other verticals. They had two major layoffs last year, one in April and one in December. I was part of the DemandCaster team and was let go in December with just about all of the sales, marketing, and leadership team. DemandCaster AEs were not allowed to prospect any leads that were held by Plex reps, even though we're selling completely different products to different people. So unless you had a great deal of inbound leads coming in you had no chance of coming close to hitting quota. On top of that, they turned off all marketing activity for most of last year, which meant we had long stretches of time with next to no leads coming in. Combine that with limited ability to prospect and you have a recipe for little revenue coming in. Aside from the $900 wellness stipend, the benefits are nothing special. Health insurance is mediocre and the premiums are pretty high. The 401k match is awful at only around $2k...honestly I'd rather have the $900 go toward a higher 401k match. Product wise, Demandcaster lags behind some of its competitors in its interface. The product itself is good, but there's nothing shiny and sexy about it to set it apart from the competition. I lost deals due to having no dashboard and no real ability to create a custom one.
