Pros

Some very intelligent and hardworking people UI of the software is industry leading Acquired ContentKing to widen product offering across technical SEO

Cons

Multiple rounds of lay offs in recent years, largely related to poor executive decision making. Monumental pressure to achieve unrealistic targets to satisfy investors. False impression of how valuable their software is and consider themselves far greater than the competition, but this is only the case in very niche use cases. For most, the significantly cheaper competition does the majority of what is required. Poorest renewal / highest customer churn of any business I've ever seen A few very long term employees warp stats, but attrition and turnover are extremely high

Abysmal Pay, Turnover, and Culture

Pros

Some friendly, & honest individual contributors looking to help one another out.

Cons

The pay and turnover at this place is terrible, and so as its culture. Starting with pay, when I was there, I was severely underpaid in my role. Many roles are not adjusted to what they are worth in the market. They even hired someone to tackle this issue with total rewards and comp adjustment from an HR SaaS company callled iCIMS, and it's still laughably bad. The salary ranges for the roles I know of when I was there are MDR/SDR (45k-60k) with commission, AE (65k-80k) with commission, Customer Success & SEO roles (50k-65k), Recruiter (95k-120k), Director roles (150k-180k), VP roles (200k >), tech support (45k-65k), & HRBP or Total Rewards Analyst roles (65k-80k). These are good faith salary ranges. You choose whether to believe this or not. Turnover has been a thing here since Dec. 17, 2019. There were massive layoffs back then when the company separated from WeWork, and they also recently happened again in holidays 2022. I say that leadership is to blame for poor decision making. They even went as far as reaching out to a brother of someone on the marketing team who works for a private equity firm to try to get more funding in 2021, and they repeat the same mistake as they did when they were with WeWork. They grew too quickly, and over hired for unnecessary roles. Because of this turmoil, and compensation unfairness, people were leaving in droves. Every month there was someone leaving, And to add, people in exec roles were leaving as well including HR roles. This speaks a lot about the state of the company, when you have people in such roles who are just leaving and are not believing in the company anymore. Lastly culture. Culture here feels like a frat party. It's very disorganized, and people often just trying to flex their titles and talk on how good everything is going, when the reality is that it is not. The last thing I'll leave here that shocked me about the culture, is how people talk bad about one another behind each others backs. I did not bother reporting to HR since I was on my way out, but talking about someone who was living in a car to survive so nonchalantly, is f'd up.
