Pros

TONS of opportunity to really build a position for yourself. Rarely will anyone ever say "No" if you want to start up some side project. Everyone you work with is smart and hard working, and everyone is very driven You really feel like they care about you as an employee Innovation is the name of the game here- we're all constantly being encouraged to find new, groundbreaking ways to go about our work. It's very exciting. Great perks- I pay $100 a month for me and my partner- for the best insurance, medical, and dental. The ESPP is amazeballs

Cons

The rate of growth is light speed, and that sometimes makes it really hard to figure out who needs to approve something. Half of the time on any given project is spent hunting down someone who can say "Yes" Cross-functional collaboration is generally subpar. Everyone is so insanely busy all the time that it's hard to get on their radar. Internal change management can be a huge struggle because of it. And the pieces aren't all aligned- it's not uncommon to find that three different teams in three different departments are all working on a similar project with no knowledge of the others. Salaries here aren't bad, but they aren't super competitive. A lot of the folks we lose go for that exact reason.

Pros

- Coworkers are smart, hard-working and fun to hang out with - Aaron, Dan and Dylan are transparent, brilliant, incredibly invested in the company and make you want to work harder - Strong reputation in Silicon Valley and among other tech start-ups - Lots of focus on internal mobility (however, many of these are 'lateral' moves with no change in compensation) - Offer a number of workshops to help people improve their skill set (negotiation, project management, etc.) - Lots of women on exec staff and in senior management positions

Cons

- Can't comment about the rest of the company but the pay in Customer Success is easily $20-$25k below market rate. Some of the best people are leaving or open to other opportunities outsides the company, primarily because of this huge gap - As the company has grown, it's become a bit ageist and less of a meritocracy
