Pros

- Great coworkers (smart, kind). - Great compensation and perks. - Leadership genuinely tries to foster a positive and open culture.

Cons

- Transparency and communication about company direction could be better. - Company being so successful and growing so fast can sometimes result in feeling distant from new coworkers; new faces every week.

Pros

It was an overall bad experience

Cons

This was a toxic place to work especially for minorities. They are currently getting rid of most people of color in the company so if you are a minority don't bother applying they don't want you. If for some reason you do get hired don't expect your tenure to be long. They only brought you in to satisfy the labor requirements they will find a way to get rid of you. This is a typical tech company where white men rule the roost. Expect to be harassed, body shamed, blamed for everyone else's mistakes. The rules are different for black/brown non Asian minorities vs white and Asian people. The good people there are hard to find anymore since this has become a company of every man for himself so don't expect anyone to get your back. Be prepared to have your work scrutinized more harshly than your peers and expect to see all the women acting like damsels in distress in order to make themselves look superior even when they are inexperienced and undeserving of their job title. In fact expect the undeserving to get pay raises and promotions while you get blamed for their inability to do the job. There was talk about doing unconscious bias training which sounds great but when you fire or force out all the minorities what is the point?

Pros

- Promoting internally at an exponential rate. - Unlimited PTO, Catered Lunches, Fully stocked kitchen, Incredible Health Insurance options, and wellness reimbursements. - Strong leadership on AE and SDR teams.

Cons

- Lack of diversity on sales team. - Small operational inconsistencies such as people not getting paid the same amount in starting paychecks. - "Bro" culture is prevalent. - Need to establish yourself as a "big player" early or you will get left in the dust.
