Pros

They have one solution for a wide open space There are some very good people that were there The CEO knows people and tries hard to keep things moving

Cons

Execution on the software is a D-. Software looks like it’s still being run on Windows 95 despite the fact it’s “in the cloud” The good people leave this company as soon as they realize the load of non-sense happening there. The “culture” they sell is 100% FAKE. The Marketing function is underfunded and a very small number of people work like healthcare workers dealing with COVID-19. The job descriptions try to evoke some fake jdea that you will have FUN in your job. This is not one of their core focal points. No one had FUN on our team. I’ve never dealt with more uptight and un-FUN people in my life. There is no creativity here. There is backstabbing going on constantly under the guise of doing the right thing. The Senior staff of this company has been a revolving door which has left the execution and strategy in shambles on the floor. 3 sales leaders in one year and you are telling me this is a top notch company. No way!

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
