Pros

-remote -blue collar clients (less red tape)

Cons

Challenging environment with unrealistic expectations and unclear product-market fit Lots of internal changes lately. The product still faces significant reliability issues, especially in the core compliance offering, which clients often question. The market feels oversaturated, and differentiation is thin. They recently dissolved the dedicated CSM team, so the bulk of the workload now involves support triage, post-sale tasks, and chasing down product fixes—on top of sales responsibilities. Quotas are extremely aggressive (think 7-figure range), and falling short for even a quarter or two can put you at risk. Territories shift frequently, so stability is limited. There’s also a heavy emphasis on travel—expectation is four on-site trips per quarter, regardless of region or deal stage. Plenty of smart people trying hard, but the foundation feels shaky.

Pros

Strong people and culture. Genuinely good colleagues, a collaborative environment, and a place where talented people want to do good work. After many years here, the quality of the people is the thing I'd point to first. Real mission and real product. The work matters — building technology that has a tangible safety impact in the physical world. That gives the work a sense of purpose that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cons

Leadership and organizational clarity could be stronger. As the company has grown, clearer direction, more consistent decision-making, and steadier organizational structure would help people do their best work. Uncertainty. Periods of structural and strategic change can create a sense of instability that's tiring over time, even for people who are otherwise very committed to the company.
