Pros

Despite joining the company during shelter in place, it's been a great onboarding experience! It's so refreshing working with genuine, no-ego personalities that are unfortunately commonplace in Bay Area tech companies. The leadership team is transparent and will make themselves available for anybody which is great.

Cons

Hours could be a bit long but it's expected for a fast-growing startup. The hours don't matter because the work is interesting. Lack of processes because we're all figuring it out together. Not necessarily a bad thing since you can dictate how you want to solve it.

Pros

Product solves real problems for customers and has strong market fit Talented Team Exposure to complex enterprise customers Remote-friendly work environment

Cons

Portfolio sizes are unrealistic for the level of strategic engagement expected. Balancing 40-50+ accounts simultaneously while managing multiple concurrent implementations and escalations leads to inevitable burnout Lack of structured support or coaching when struggling with workload - more of a "sink or swim" culture Inconsistent treatment across the team regarding account distribution, promotion opportunities, and performance expectations Several rounds of restructuring have negatively impacted morale and team stability They ask for more and more with less and less Administrative and operational issues fall on individual contributors to resolve, even when caused by company-level decisions Internal mobility is very limited - external candidates are often brought in for roles that existing team members deserve CEO's are too involved
