Pros

Great people who care that are trying their best given the circumstances

Cons

The founders implement frequent changes but often reverse them the next day due to complaints. This cycle creates inconsistency and makes it hard to keep track. Either they need to stand by their decisions or step back and let others take the lead to bring stability.

Thanks for your feedback! We understand change isn't easy but hopefully you now see how it's beneficial and brings the stability you're asking for.

Pros

Good compensation depending on your department. I can only speak for the Sales team, but it has been life changing. The product is phenomenal and easy to sell, it has a great market fit and isn't outrageously expensive, so customers usually see the value in purchasing. It's a small company and feedback is usually appreciated and implemented if it's legitimately good feedback or ideas. My manager is the best (words nobody ever says, I know lol) and the other managers are pretty chill to work with. Work life balance is pretty solid, again I can only speak from Sales but I don't feel burnt out unless I am doing it to myself by choosing to work more than necessary. I get to work fully remote which is a dream come true for me.

Cons

There's been a lot of change over the last few years, which has been both good and bad at times.

Pros

> The team is made up of smart, driven people who genuinely care about the company's success. > Leadership, particularly the CEO, was approachable, and I always felt comfortable providing feedback. > The product is innovative, and there was a strong focus on refining processes and market strategy. > I loved the variety of work and the ability to contribute across sales, enablement, and operations. Wearing multiple hats allowed me to have a meaningful impact on different aspects of the business. > My insights were valued when advising leadership and the sales team on best practices.

Cons

> Like many startups in a growth phase, frequent changes were necessary, but at times they felt more financially driven than strategically planned. > Internal restructuring and shifting priorities made long-term planning challenging. > It was frustrating to learn about internal roles only after they were filled. In one case, a role I was very interested in never formally existed until it was given to someone else without prior notice or opportunity to apply. > The company does not conduct exit interviews, which feels like a missed opportunity to gather valuable feedback and strengthen internal processes.
