Business Outlook

Pros

Free weekly lunch Transport allowance Good health benefits All new hires start in San Francisco HQ, very comprehensive and useful orientation week to get to know people

Cons

Most team members in Singapore reports upward to their lead based in San Francisco A lot of micro-managing / remote hand holding for local matters when they have no clear understanding of the issue and proposed solutions Some level of white supremacist thinking; some level of racial stereotypes (Team members handling Singapore office affairs are of Asian descent )

Poor Leadership Overshadows Strong Product

Account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of really smart people that are fun to work with. Cool office in SOMA near ballpark. Good work/life balance. Strong product, especially in the mid-market vertical.

Cons

Past reviews are spot on: CEO is arrogant. Sales Leadership is disconnected from the front lines + added an unnecessary layer of management that further removes senior leadership. Tension between sales and marketing. Compensation and equity are well below market.

Great place with great people

Business Outlook

Pros

People really care about the mission. Feels like we're all pulling on the same rope. Still a relatively flat structure with a lot of visibility. Beautiful office in a convenient location.

Cons

Perks are good but don't blow you away. If you need all your meals provided at work this isn't the place for you. Also no 401K match.
