      Thank you for your feedback and we’re glad to hear you value the people, product, and the strong engineering culture. We recognize that aspects of redtape can create friction. That is an ongoing focus area for us, and your feedback is valuable as we work toward greater transparency on GTM strategy. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

      Terrible place to work

      Senior marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Among people below VP level, there are some really excellent coworkers there.

      Cons

      Where do I start? This place was a dumpster fire. Total compensation ended up being below my last job due to low bonus and stock grants, and worse health insurance and other benefits than I had previously. Outside hires are given preference over promoting from within, despite what leadership claimed. RTO policy was downright punitive. The company founders micromanage many things, and senior leadership underneath them can't give good direction. KPIs are either non-existent or things outside of your control. Targets seem to be set with a magic eight ball rather than data-driven forecasting. Direction can change 180 degrees in by the end of the week. Layoffs abound, no stability in teams. Your coworkers are likely to be gone tomorrow, and even your own employees might be let go without your consultation. A culture of fear dominates. Terrible work-life balance.
