Confusing and lack of direction

Pros

Benefits are good, Pay is okay and Coworkers nice. Work-life balance good.

Cons

Multiple pivots + lack of transparency from E-team. Unclear where company is headed; sales numbers not looking good. Product updates are mostly table stakes. Executives are leaving, from all departments, and landing at top companies like Open AI. Feels like a death spiral unless the new board member or COO can take the reins and provide direction and product innovation.

Pros

- Competitive Salary and Good Benefits - Intelligent, hard working and awesome IC/coworkers - Supportive first line managers and have AE's backs to have success - Flexible work structure, giving employees the option to go into the office/s to collaborate the team while being remote - Product has potential

Cons

- Lack of clear strategic company vision - Limited product market fit: the company's vision to be "everything to anyone" is not helpful for customers and prospects... the horizontal nature of the product has reached headwinds with the macro-economic environment and directly impacts competitiveness - The sales org is very poorly run and there are changes done all the time, which makes it difficult to be successful. There is also very little communication about changes and many disruptive changes to territory. There is little to no engagement with sales reps - Terrible BDR management and process. There is no synergy between AEs and BDRs, and current structure makes it difficult for AEs and BDRs to strategically partner together and make an impact together - Weak focus on the Enterprise market: the business has moved from a PLG motion to a full SLG motion w/o proper training or demand from the market and no structure. This all shows lack of product maturity - Market understanding from AEs on the ground "selling" and Sales leaders are at opposite ends - no competitive understanding of the market from leaders and is a dis-service to the Sales team -Unrealistic expectations because no clue about the product or the market - Disconnected and very weak culture: almost no one goes into the offices, everyone is siloed based on what teams they are on and everything feels forced and fake

Pros

- Working on a product that users are *super* passionate about - Coworkers who care deeply about their work and will push you to do the best work of your life. - No silos: engineering, design, marketing, sales, customer success all work and communicate closely. Everyone is welcome to give feedback on the product and internal processes. - Interesting challenges in all areas, ranging from novel UI/UX to real-time infrastructure that scales

Cons

There's an infinite amount of work, which can result in hard decisions when it comes to prioritization.
