Pros

Great mission, great people who really care about the company, customers, and their work. Work-life balance is respected but can be difficult to maintain without lots of self-discipline (there is just so much to do!). There is a strong desire/belief in the company but legacy products/culture keep us in low gear.

Cons

Product Strategy is still very cloudy, still trying to do too many things. Comp and benefits are average and HR seems fine with that. There are way too many- working groups, committees, tiger teams. Everything needs a lot of people signed off and consensus to move to the next step. Teams are spread extremely thin

Pros

Flexible remote work environment and good PTO

Cons

Extremely toxic sales culture here with boys club and clear favoritism. Sales director and VP are the reason for this as they are extremely unprofessional. Mass exodus is for a reason and unsure why HR is ignoring claims on sexism and favoritism with every female employee that seems to be leaving. No career growth or opportunities unless you are part of the boys club here as it is apparently and obvious. Ask the right questions before considering a job here. You are unable to be successful here with onboarding because of completely out of touch and delusional sales trainers. Seems like we are in a complete clown show here!
