Pros

Good market space with a lot of oppurtunities to grow. Very fast pace and exciting work being done on application.

Cons

Leadership tends to make decisions that does not benefit the employees. Seems a bit confused at what is really happening and what direction we want to move towards.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the many positives around market space, growth potential, and importantly about the exciting product work being done. As for areas of improvement, we have done multiple employee surveys and have implemented a lot of positive changes that arose from them - first and foremost being more deliberate communication between leadership and employees. We want a culture where all employees are comfortable having open conversations, invariably leading to better outcomes for all. We have consolidated the office locations into one central office in downtown San Francisco which has led to a much more productive work environment. Our recent benefits review resulted in 100% cost coverage for employee health insurance and introduction of a 401K plan. Thanks again for your thoughts and for your work contributions.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits and they provide you with equipment. It's a startup so there is definitely room to grow, my supervisor had only been with the company for 2 years! It was great being part of such a community driven to help people. I liked working in the startup environment, from marketing professionals, to MDs we all could give eachother tips, encouragement, and support in a slack channel. It was great to experience the company like a community, in my last job we could only speak within our bubble of teams.

Cons

The training process was very difficult because they don't send you equipment until after you complete training. I had to download a whole CRM system on my 6 year old Mac Sequoia and my computer has never recovered. Also there can be a lot of misinformation, you'll be told one process by someone and then be critiqued by someone else that it was incorrect, needless to say sometimes instructions were not very clear. I think it would help if they extended their training beyond 1 week. I do want to specify that the person in charge of the trainees is great and very diligent, the issue is with company policy and not an indvidual.
