Pros

Almost unlimited growth potential Great management team C suite rocks Hard working and fast paced Amazing products - clients love it keep up the great work here.

Cons

SDR team- they’re starting to hold us back They book anything with a pulse, mostly unqualified demos across the board. There is no regard for qualification or quality at all and it’s killing the new business team. We are told to prospect, which I get but we wouldn’t have to if the SDR team and New Business team had alignment. Companies with sales teams of 5 don’t get touched for months while 1 person bad fits are repeatedly hammered. They tell prospects we do things we don’t do at all just to hopefully get to complete. Lots of bad fit companies that won’t ever be our customer. There is no incentive for an SDR to book a higher quality meeting, they’re constantly hammered for volume and it’s not lining up at all. This is really holding back the business and it’s taking up all the time of the AEs so we cannot focus on higher quality companies with sales teams that can convert.

Pros

The people. My peers in marketing are experienced, fun, and whip-smart. Colleagues, even those long gone, have continued to be supportive of one another in ways I've not seen at other companies. The networking is amazing. Although it may also be trauma bonding.

Cons

Marketing is always the scapegoat here and will always get hit hard when there are layoffs. In early summer 2025 they laid off nearly the entire product marketing team - from 26 people to 2- and "replaced" them with AI. Morale never recovered, the messaging has never been clearly communicated since then, and the worst part is CEO Henry Schuck went on a podcast to brag about it. Talk about out of touch. In the entire time I worked there, marketing leadership was sorely lacking. There has never been clear direction. This is still a problem with the new CMO, who is both heavily involved at a micro level and yet opaque about important things the whole department should know. And now the constant trimmings... Er, layoffs... no -- "exits" -- have gotten even more extreme. We're just wholesale replacing standard, strategic marketing positions and even teams with agencies. Which is quite a look for a billion dollar company. It might be worth it to work here for 6 months or a year if you can manage for the experience and connections, but the constant strategic switch-ups and looming inevitability of layoffs will wear you down. And soon you'll be looking for an escape route so you can say "you can't lay me off, I quit."
