Pros

The flexibility of remote and hybrid work is a significant benefit. Most individual teams are composed of talented, kind people, and the senior engineering staff is generally very helpful. Recent efforts to create a defined career ladder for both ICs and management are a positive step.

Cons

Management has handled recent financial and organizational challenges poorly. A protracted layoff process and subsequent talent flight have left teams under-resourced. Furthermore, the bonus structure was recently modified to shift a much larger portion of the total payout to the end of the year. In practice, this resulted in a substantial loss of total compensation when management decided to cancel those year-end payouts entirely. Combined with base pay increases that barely track with inflation, there is a frustrating disparity between receiving positive performance reviews and seeing your actual take-home pay decrease year-over-year.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for your continued contributions over the past several years. We’re glad to hear you value the flexibility, your team, and the progress being made around career pathing. We also recognize the concerns raised around communication, resourcing, and changes to compensation structures. These are important topics, and we understand the impact they can have on trust and day-to-day experience. We encourage employees to bring these concerns directly to their leaders or members of the Talent and Culture team so they can be discussed openly and addressed with full context. Ongoing, candid dialogue is critical to ensuring alignment and moving forward constructively.

Pros

- Real world impact of the product - CEO a true innovator - Low ego culture

Cons

It is honestly difficult to identify significant downsides from my experience. The main tradeoff was that the company moved quickly, which sometimes meant changing priorities.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO, remote work protected for those on remote-only contracts from the COVID years. - Individual team is fantastic with deep respect for the work and each other

Cons

- Absolutely terrible salary ranges for junior staff with little to no annual adjustments. Even for title raises. - Regularly working beyond job scope which only normalizes being underpaid as you promote, no talent pipeline for actual supply chain intelligence - just sales and Customer engagement roles - Annual layoffs create massive knowledge gaps within the company. - Titles are virtually useless as nearly everyone who gets recruited to Sales and GTM is immediately Senior Director or SVP - Regularly told we can't hire or make salary adjustments to existing staff only to announce SVP hiring bursts on LinkedIn - Technical leadership lacks a clear vision, and there are often competing and redundant priorities between teams - Culture continues to push towards sales bloat without adequately growing delivery teams and providing resources to infrastructure/tech staff - Recognition goes to the loudest voices in the room rather than the people quietly delivering great work - Absolutely absurd priorities in funding: Exiger sponsored the president's birthday parade in Spring 2025, had major layoffs in December 2025, and then turned around and sponsored the Great American State Fair in Summer 2026, all while staff are actively leaving the company due to low salaries
