Pros

Free food? Decent office space. Working in the valley meh Good tech stack of SaaS products You'll learn a lot about spotting BS

Cons

Stay far away from business development and inside sales. Inflated ote and unobtainable quotas. Business development management is incredibly toxic and incompetent. Turnover rate in the past year is unbelievable. Hire and fire, no support or guidance for struggling reps. Most of the remaining team quit, which is probably why you're reading this. BD management interrogated reps over negative Glassdoor reviews if that says anything. Favoritism and nepotism run rampant. You'll gag on the kool aid after ~6 months. Product is ok, but pretty boring. Company hasn't taken off as planned. Niche market, low contract value, and selling a 'nice to have' to a cost center means opportunity to make $$$ is low if you're joining now. 0% of BDRs hit quota. While it has gained some traction recently, FQ doesn't have the feature set or industry recognition to displace established competitors in large enterprises/named accounts. If you're looking to get into SaaS sales, this is not a great place to start and gain experience. Take the job security and go be a cog at Oracle etc. or find a younger company where you can grow. You'll be micromanaged here, but given nothing in terms of actual guidance. Very little room for advancement at this point without CPA or audit experience. If you just need a job and health insurance it's ok.

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.
