Pros

Genuinely some great people working across different departments of the company. Company focusing on growing, so if you’re into joining a “fast-moving” and “dynamic” environment this is the place for you. This means with all these changes happening, your experience largely differs based on which group you’re in. Engineering is focused on right priorities to support enterprise customers but rapid culture change has alienated a lot of engineers who’ve been with the company for a long time.

Cons

Benefits: “Unlimited PTO” really means 4 weeks. No 401K contributions. No cash bonuses. They have maternity/paternity leave which is nice. Health insurance options are good too but wo to rising costs, you are starting to have to pay. 1. Product prioritization is basically driven by whatever sales is shouting about the loudest, which makes it hard to build anything truly innovative or features improving the lives of current customers since they are echo chambers for what prospects think they want. 2. Lack of cohesive AI strategy beyond “you need to add it in your modules” and putting things into Transform product 3. Product and Engineering leadership do not seem in “lock-step”. 4. Lack of product leadership. A long memo was shared on what it means to be a good PM rather than meaningful group discussion about expectations, vision, and goals for the product group. 5. Difficult to get product leadership to make difficult decisions to move things forward. PMs can advise and propose a direction, but decisive action and accountability need to sit with leadership. Presentations about high level vision and direction devolve into nitpicking on UI/UX details that won’t even be built for 3+ months. 6. AI hype train is very real - if you just loudly talk about AI in every meeting, you’ll most likely be viewed favorably

Pros

Decent benefits, some great people

Cons

Leadership has actively driven this company into the ground. Since the layoffs in 2024 (and countless silent layoffs since), engineering culture has been in freefall, and it keeps getting worse. Attrition is sky-high, and the CTO keeps stacking leadership with his own friends — people who know nothing about the job and default to threatening people’s jobs to compensate. The constant churn means institutional knowledge just walks out the door on a regular basis, leaving teams full of people who don’t actually understand the systems they’re responsible for. QA has been gutted to the point of being nearly nonexistent, so defects ship constantly and nobody catches them until customers do — made worse by a QA manager who’s notorious for threatening everyone’s job security while doing none of the actual work himself, spending his days on his phone instead. Deadlines materialize out of nowhere, driven entirely by leadership’s whims rather than any actual planning. Fire drills happen daily. Every one of the CTO’s initiatives has failed, and there’s zero accountability for any of it. The product org isn’t far behind. The heads of product and engineering apparently don’t speak to each other, which leaves everyone else scrambling to fill the gap and coordinate work that should’ve been aligned from the top. The SVP of Product is condescending to the point where it has caused attrition. Leadership keeps inserting itself further into product decisions despite having no real read on what users actually want — they’re clearly more interested in how things look than whether the product actually works.
