Pros

Good product, constantly evolving tech. Good people team who do "seem" to genuinely care. Lots of new hires (high staff turnover)

Cons

Sale management team are terrible - micro managers that repeat "go" after ever statement. Poor understanding of the market and unrealistic targets. No answers to competition offerings apart from "were the best" Constant chest beating - it seems you have to tell everyone , every 5 minutes what a great place it is to work? Wellness days are granted to employees, management fail to tell employees what these are for and if you use them you feel you should not be using them. The company seems to be full of leaders - this often leads to lots of conflicts. Toxic environment where everyone seems terrified of being fired - very stressful place to work. Complete lack of understanding of cultures outside of the U.S.

Pros

Fully remote, flexible, and monthly stipends. Good pay.

Cons

Shady leadership. Tendency to hire employees for a specific reason only to dissolve their position once whatever project they forecasted for the employee is complete. I’ve seen it happen to multiple employees during my employment until it finally happened to me after a few years. Was advised by a former employee in leadership that I would more than likely be overloaded with work and worked out the door in some way because that was their trend. I didn’t believe it but it started happening to many people around me. I don’t trust these people and managers are very loose lipped, move sloppily, and doesn’t know how to not let secrets slip out. I knew my position was being dissolved from meetings I saw on my managers calendar. Luckily I started applying for jobs because I saw the writing on the walls. I had something else lined up but was still a bit blindsided because I was clearly communicating need for help to my leadership. Multiple interviews asking how I was doing and what I needed help with only for 3 days later to be told my position was no longer needed.
