Pros

- Decent SF/bay area-based salary - Allows fully remote - Great starting org if you're new to the tech world & the perks that come with it - 10 extra 3 day weekends (1/month, outside of Nov/Dec) - Lots of career opportunities

Cons

- If you've worked in any other tech org this feels exactly the same - People are blindly focused on their individual goals and generally only care about their individual perception - Antiquated, accrued PTO policy - Most departments are understaffed - Poor work-life balance - Slogan of "Get Ship Done" drives the company to greatly err on the side of surface-level accomplishments that don't actually grow the business - Poor planning - 5 Day work week

Pros

Innovative product, seems to be solving customer pains

Cons

Worst sales culture I've ever been apart of. Expect to have zero work/life balance.. It seems like they try to hire people that don't have families so that you're expected to work insane hours and constantly travel for needless off-sites. I think I saw in an internal system that under 30% of the sales team have kids. Would highly highly recommend to look into alternatives

Great CEO... But

Pros

CEO has the vision and is solving major pai in the market.

Cons

Sales Strategy is a lack luster, and quota was largely unattainable. There are pockets of greatness, but they are few and far between.
