Pros

Great coworkers in the engineering group. Accommodating when "stuff happens" (sick kid, car breakdown etc) . Product/platform was designed for a very noble purpose.

Cons

The engineering group is being overworked to the point of burnout. Staff have left in droves and where it was common to see staff with 10-15 years of tenure, most new staff now leave within 1-2 years. Poor compensation. Staff are paid under market value and not given consistent performance reviews, raises or paths for advancement. Employees are offered new titles and greater responsibility without corresponding pay adjustments. Improvements have been promised for several years but have been slow to roll out. Heroism is encouraged (12-16 hour work days).

Pros

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Cons

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
