Pros

Great environment and even better people and colleagues. Fun and exciting place to be with a leading product at the right time.

Cons

Leadership is terrible.. Lots of retreads from other companies where their buddy's buddy worked therefore nepotism is rampant. VPs had no experience in their roles and related field so that made it difficult let alone impossible to be on the same page. Very political environment and high school at times. They cry culture and values but don't often show it themselves. Got fired out of nowhere for no reason while being the number 1 CSM. When asked for a reason the president of the company brought me in a room by myself and refused to give me a reason why -legally. Really weird and disheartening.

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.
