Pros

Solid Product - product updates are actually pretty good compared to most software places Some of the people are great

Cons

Management is madness. Culture is so toxic reading the company website should burn your eyes. Prepare to be publicly berated, prepare to be fired for following the rules after being told you'll be fired if you don't. Prepare for little to no support. Be prepared to be treated like an indentured servant. When the CEO says jump, don't ask how high, he expects you to just know and just do it and be prepared for public humiliation if you don't do it right. If he has a bad day, brace yourself, your bad day has been decided, no input needed from you. There's a reason all the 5 star reviews on glassdoor sound kinda like an HR job posting "fast paced" "many hats" "need initiative" "not for thin skinned people" its because HR is posting positive reviews to increase the overall rating on glassdoor.

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of working here is the company’s commitment to maintaining and continuously improving its platform. The engineering team is highly responsive, consistently enhancing functionality, introducing new features, and resolving issues quickly to ensure a smooth experience for both employees and customers. The company also offers comprehensive benefits and decent PTO.

Cons

The biggest challenge I experienced was a lack of effective management and leadership support. Managers often appeared to have little authority to advocate for their teams or influence decisions that directly affected employees. It was common to hear that concerns were understood and even agreed with, but that nothing could be done because decisions had already been made at higher levels. Over time, this created an environment where employees felt unsupported and disconnected from the decision-making process. Leadership communication and organizational priorities often seemed to be driven by the preferences and mood of a single influential individual, whose presence extended across nearly every required communication channel. This made the work environment feel unpredictable and contributed to low morale. Ultimately, I chose to leave because I felt I lacked the guidance, advocacy, and leadership support needed to be successful and continue growing within the organization.
