Growing pains, but still a solid company at its core.

Pros

Being surrounded by smart, dedicated people that help push and motivate you to up your game. Leadership that genuinely cares about their users, their clients, and their employees. The ability to set your own goals, determine the best way to impact the business, and then roll up your sleeves and make it happen. Loads of opportunity to shine, own programs, try new things, grow and learn.

Cons

After years of hitting supper aggressive goals the expectations can be high, and communications and the development of processes have sometimes suffered as the employee base grew at an amazingly fast pace.

Pros

Work/Life Balance is fantastic. Developers and marketing keep the culture that won all the great awards alive. High amount of investment to keep culture thriving. Taco Mondays. Bagel Fridays. Onsite yoga, workout, and basketball court. Not a lot you can complain about with the perks.

Cons

When Scott Abel stepped down from CEO there was a cultural shift, whether purposeful or not. Scott ensured that the entire company kept the priority of people first. Naturally, as the company grew and the need to pay back investors became a priority Jay shifted the focus to revenue. The sales culture, at times, was brutal. When the company wasn't thriving neither are the personalties of leadership. This is felt all the way down and can really make for some awkward and long days.
