Pros

The leadership team at the very least attempts to practice a "people first" mentality, which is inspiring. There's a lot of genuinely good people on the ground floor and entry-level who are trying their best. There's relative freedom to work how you want, within reason.

Cons

Questionably talented leadership - too many "big ideas" people with no ability or desire to help execute. Similarly, there's are way, way too many managers - and despite this, there are constant communication issues. The number of Engineers and Product employees who understand and/or care about the product can be counted on one hand (amongst a team of 30-40) which is obvious and terrifying to the rest of the company. There's a lot of senior and longtime employees who are way, way too comfortable and who have more authority and power than they deserve.

Pros

Good experience with the people so far, feel like everyone is generally friendly and it's a small enough company that it's easy to connect with people to learn about their positions. Good experiences so far with managers who are generally warm and friendly. Relatively good work life balance, you work remotely all month of August and you can travel.

Cons

Biggest con personally is the low pay, just among the lowest you can make in a starting position and it takes about 1.5-2 years to scale into a better place as an SDR which is odd to me because its a position that on average folks spend that amount of time in before moving up. I believe it causes higher turnover in the first year as an SDR and would love to see a higher starting pay and clearer path forward to improve motivation and retention. I also wish they had mentioned in the interview that commission is 50% taxed, I understand this is common practice but didn't feel like there was great transparency on this. Lastly, feel like theres an unbalanced approach to in person office culture, it doesn't seem to be applied equally across all teams (for instance the Sales team seems to have the most pressure to be in person, most other teams it seems are are able to work remotely more flexibly). Just makes it confusing when you can ask to work remotely due to weather or personal reasons, only to show up and find that you are the only one in office which can be frustrating and cause unnecessary tension.
