Pros

There are plenty of good people here. I've also learned quite a bit in my time here and there are some really smart people to learn from. If you like working remotely then this is the place for you. Benefits are also good (but could be better).

Cons

There are also plenty of not good people here. For a work collaboration software company, there are definite weaknesses when it comes to collaborating internally here. It is a bit of a gaslight factory. People use excuses for why they don't respond or communicate. Lots of incompetent people in leadership levels that should either not be in their current roles or have been sent packing long ago. Product UI (which is improving) is still 20 years behind in alot of areas (such as the premium apps). It's also clear a good chunk of product and engineering have no idea how customers use the product when issues come up and product changes are pushed through.

Pros

Smartsheet as a whole is a great company with great stock perks.

Cons

I would avoid SMB client sales. There was constant turnover and was a very difficult work environment with the leadership.
