Run! Toxic culture and leadership!

Pros

Really good product array. Work from home so you don't have to deal with your coworkers in person too often

Cons

Some of the worst culture I have ever experienced. Hire and fire culture across the board. Constant management turnover, talking up to 3 new bosses a year, each one worse than the last. There is a hierarchy of people who are close to leadership; they can do no wrong, and everyone else gets screwed. Incompetent leadership, especially in marketing and sales, I guess it doesn't matter too much when they will get fired within the year. Stay away!
