What Brex sells
Company cards and expenses tracked automatically
A finance team spends hours chasing receipts and checking every card charge by hand. Brex gives companies corporate cards, bank accounts, bill pay, and travel tools in one place. Its automation handles much of the expense and bookkeeping work, so the team can see spending as it happens and focus on what matters most.

Ask hard questionsToo much is left unsaid. Make them answer before you invest.
- Pay
- OTE is listed. Ask what the base is.
- Transparency
- Says nothing about quota, attainment, deal size, territory or sales cycle.
- Pipeline
- Mostly self-sourced. Great if you like outbound, rough if you don't.
- Time on market
- Open 212 days. Ask why it's been hard to fill.
- Company hiring
- 32 sales roles open, hiring at a steady pace. Ask how many reps they hired last year and how many are still there.
Red flags
None spotted.
Worth asking about
- Open 90+ days. This role has been posted for three months or more. Ask why it's been hard to fill, and whether anyone left it.
Green flags
- Publishes OTE. It tells you the on-target earnings up front. Most postings don't.
Based only on what the posting says. Flags are a starting point for your first call, not a final judgment.
Questions to ask on the first call
Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.
- 1.
This role has been open a while. What's made it hard to fill?
The answer tells you what candidates saw that made them walk.
- 2.
What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?
OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.
- 3.
What's the base, and how is the rest paid out?
OTE without a base doesn't tell you what you can count on.
- 4.
What's the annual quota, and how was it set?
A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.
- 5.
What share of last year's closed deals did reps source themselves?
Shows how much pipeline you'll have to build on your own.
- 6.
Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?
New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.
When the offer comes
Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.
- 1.
Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?
What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.
- 2.
Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?
The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.
- 3.
I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?
Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.
