Pros

- amazing product with a great market fit - perks - work with a fun group - good if you’re new to sales or out of school

Cons

The co-founder had a successful company in 2012 that was 1/5 the size of this. They’re running it the exact same way with no regard for changing playbooks and updated ethics. It’s not working. They are hiring tons of people when no one is hitting their number and being totally fine with the churn and burn mentality. The leaders that were chosen were given that opportunity because they will do whatever they are told.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
