Pros

They have decent benefits and you get unlimited vacation. Some of the people are pretty cool to work with.

Cons

The company can't seem to decide whether it wants to focus on business or social justice. Almost every single meeting involves something about racism and how horrible people are. The company went from a great place to work, to one where negativity and division is growing by leaps and bounds. Company chat during company meetings is becoming a cess pit with constant negativity and division. Not to mention almost every Q&A now involves direct attacks and falsehoods, primarily targeted at the CEO and C-Suite, for failing to attend a meeting or failing to send an email within moments of something happening in the world. It really feels like a few people will scream and cry and the CEO will immediately feel bad and likely roll over for those select few employees. Good luck trying to do your job and avoid this though. You'll be blasted with emails and potentially meetings where you need to be told about how horrible everything is. The increase in negativity and focus on news has coincided with the company bleeding people. Some of the best team members who were long term employees (3+ years) are fleeing. It's now a rotating door and the company can barely keep up with the amount of people leaving. We're told everything is fine and it's actually a good thing that people leave, but no one believe you. Other reviews have mentioned this, but many people are underpaid for what they actually do. HR claims it's working on a plan to address this, but I half expect multiple salaries to be slashed because only titles will get looked it. You'll get burned out and you won't even get paid what your worth. Plus, no plans as of yet to address how they completely skipped a year of raises (while also punting prospects because people cried).

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.
