Pros

Hands down they hire the best people. The sales team is incredible, the product team from start to finish is impeccable, and I could go on and on regarding each department. They really have some top talent.

Cons

Bro culture to the max. And this stems from the top. If someone doesn’t fit this “bro” mold, they will find a reason to let them go. It’s a chaotic and fast environment and if you can’t keep you’ll be kicked to the curb. They hire great people, but eventually everyone will burn out if they are constantly expected to do 110% or else lose their job.

Pros

Great coworkers, lower-middle management, product, PTO “unlimited” which isn’t true but does allow flexible usage, generous 2 days off for many holidays, and catered food ~3 times a month, regularly stocked fridge with energy drinks, soda, and water.

Cons

Top down leadership disconnected from sales and customer success team. Little coordinated efforts between nearly every department. Overhauled the pay structure Jan 2026, getting rid of the performance based promotion and pay scaling. Preventing OM’s from making the advertised 77k leading to many of us now stuck at 60k or 66k w/ a horrible annualized raise schedule (high performers not getting raises left waiting for potential raises that likely won’t come this year). Nearly nonexistent HR that is hard to get in communication with.
