Pros

Product is slick and works.

Cons

When everyone in the sales org is under 30 by design, that should give you pause. Communication style is very unprofessional and sales team by and large doesn't know what they're doing. If you're wondering why this company has gone through seven rounds of funding without turning a profit here is why. Entire org is dysfunctional, unprofessional, immature.
