Pros

* There are a bunch of extremely talented, dedicated people working here. * Great space and work environment. * Sales team is well-run with consistent growth.

Cons

* There is an aura of favoritism in the company. * Not sure what value some of the VPs (Solutions, Hardware) actually bring. * The platform is led by a long timer, but not a technical powerhouse; the platform has seriously languished. * The company has no 401(k) match. * The company lists lunches as a perk then asks employees to pay into the "benefit".

Thank you for providing your feedback. I agree that our team is full of extremely talented and dedicated people, including our CEO. I’m sorry you feel that favoritism plays a role in advancement. We work hard to ensure that employees succeed based solely on the merits of their work. We’ve clarified the language regarding the gourmet lunch program so that new hires are aware that it is an opt-in program requiring a bi-weekly contribution. Our employee benefits package includes fully funded health, dental, and vision insurance plan options, as well as commuter benefits, discretionary PTO, and flexible work schedules. We are continuously evaluating ways that we can improve both our company culture and employee benefits package. To that end, in 2017 we are implementing a system for eliciting vital, constructive feedback from our employees on a recurring basis. Please also feel free to reach out to me directly if you'd like to discuss any of this further.
