Pros

More or less fully remote

Cons

Leadership is chaotic and churns constantly. Strategy is poor. Competitors everywhere outmaneuvering LD. Most likely valuation in 3 years is $0. Ego's and favoritism everywhere. Tech side used to be safe from it, no longer.

Pros

Great product loved by customers Comp is solid (when attainable)

Cons

High turnover across all functions: Constant churn in the C-suite, Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success has created instability and eroded morale. Leadership misalignment: There’s a major disconnect between executive vision and on-the-ground execution. Direction changes frequently, often without clarity or buy-in. Legal is a deal killer: The contract process is rigid, slow, and not customer-friendly. Legal redlines regularly stall or kill otherwise winnable deals. Flat org with limited upward mobility: Unless you’re moving from BDR to AE, there are very few clear growth paths or internal promotions. Low morale and fractured culture: With constant reorgs and departures, it’s hard to feel part of a cohesive, motivated team. Loss of institutional knowledge: Many key technical and product leaders have left, and their expertise hasn’t been replaced—resulting in confusion and gaps in execution. Heavy manual processes: Reps are bogged down with administrative tasks and internal reporting, leaving little time for strategic selling. Hybrid sales model stretches reps too thin: Trying to manage both inbound and outbound in a complex sales motion leads to burnout and lack of focus.

Pros

- Colleagues are smart, dedicated and willing to give everything they have - WFH policy is flexible

Cons

- Leadership is all over the place. Pivoting every turn with no clear vision to grow revenue. - Product is lagging. - Timelines keep changing. - Managers speak a good game but are afraid to stand up to the CEO who is the least inspiring leader I've ever worked for. - No COL pay raises - No 401K matching. - No room for growth
