An ElevenLabs exec says he's planning to double his team size and he warns candidates about the 'huge amount of hours'

"When I make an offer, I tell every single person ElevenLabs is going to be extremely difficult. We are a hard company to work for because we have extremely high expectations."

"So if I pay you $100,000 a year, your quota is $2 million. That's it. If you don't achieve your quota, then you're going to be out, right? And we're ruthless on that end."

"If you're not upfront about the expectation, I think you end up diluting because people come with different expectations, they essentially behave in a specific way that is not the way that you wanted."

Carles Reina, vice president of sales at ElevenLabs, emphasizes the demanding nature of the job during the hiring process. He warns candidates about the high expectations and the need for full commitment, which helps reduce turnover. Reina sets strict sales quotas, stating that employees must meet significant targets to retain their positions. ElevenLabs, valued at $11 billion after a recent funding round, is expanding its sales team significantly, raising concerns about maintaining company culture amidst rapid growth.
