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
