Pros

-Affordable and good benefits including health insurance, PTO (moving to DTO next year), random days off. -Wonderful people though the bad eggs can unfortunately be the ones who make your job unbearable at times.

Cons

-Everyone is burnt out and stretched thin. Long hours, not replacing all the people who are running out the door, lots of unnecessary changes such as product names, functionality, roadmap, etc. so messaging to prospects and customers is never consistent. -When they laid off 10% of the workforce 1 month into COVID, it was completely political. Cuts were made to teams who really couldn't afford it while other teams have a very light workload. Priorities were misplaced in those decisions and it was way too political. If the executive for your team has a good relationship with your manager/director, you were kept and if not, your team suffered. -Hypocritical-they claim to care about employee well being but don't provide coverage for employees to take time off let alone care for their health day to day. -Difficult to get standard tasks done because of conflicting priorities across sales, security, marketing, etc. Despite Accountability being one of the company pillars, management can never make a decision and they do not take action when one of their direct reports fails to complete deliverables.

Pros

My team was very committed to our customers and very collaborative with each other. Everyone was kind to each other, and historically there had been opportunities for mentorship and career development.

Cons

Unclear expectations from leadership. We always felt like we were trying to play catch up with how things were changing. We also always felt like we were underpaid.
