Pros

- Tons of free swag - Happy hour on Fridays - Too many nerf guns - Colorful office atmosphere - SuperSmashBros tournaments - Many extraordinarily friendly people among the organization

Cons

- Learning and Development is discouraged, don't dare go above and beyond for a customer if it means doing anything you weren't specifically taught to do. - "Pass them a support document and end the call" support mentality. - Schedule managed/monitored by an automated system. No leniency for away/breaks and no excuse for tardiness on arrival. - Total focus on KPIs, somewhat unrealistic expectations given the low pay (45 sec max between calls to bump to $18/h) - Poor sales practices, overpromising/lying by omission - Very poor response time to critical escalations (payment processors- lost transactions, 2+ years without resolution). It was rare to feel that a customer was actually valued unless they were up in the 10s of millions of dollars in sales. - Promotions based on nepotism, not qualifications. Few and far between dependent on department. Actual feedback I received "The rest of the team feels they don't know you well enough, you might consider attending Saturday company events", I was scheduled 12p-9p Tues-Saturday.

Pros

I absolutely love working for BigCommerce because they truly stand by their values and diverse dominated culture. It’s a team oriented environment, and trust me it’s not another cliche…the people are amazing, incredibly talented and everyone walks the talk. BigCommerce is the best culture I have ever worked for in my entire career!

Cons

The company is scaling rapidly so if you love making an impact in the midst of chaos it’s an exciting place to be!
