Pros

Great mission, compensation and benefits

Cons

The GTM team needs a lot of work. The sales team consistently overforecasts and underdelivers (by millions) each quarter. This leads to a handful of terminations at the beginning of each quarter, but the behavior doesn't change. The revops team is a mess, and almost every commission check is incorrect, and they've gone so far as to take clawbacks from reps for mistakes they made. Customer retention is going in the wrong direction as budget and competitors are coming into play. Across the company there is a lot of favoritism for the legacy employees, and they are prematurely promoted into senior roles.

Pros

It's flexible and sometimes the money is OK. I got paid most of what they owed me.

Cons

Generally disorganized. The task I was on was one of the more highly paid ones but it was almost impossible to actually do in the allotted time. You aren't supposed to use AI but I think people must. The tasks run far over the time they are supposed to take. The human review system also seemed almost arbitrary. Reviewers did not have the subject matter expertise they claimed to. You will make less than the advertised hourly rate because the tasks routinely take longer than they say they will. If they have averages that are lower, those people are either not submitting accurate hours (there is incentive not to) or are using AI to train AI, which is a bigger problem (but not yours).
