Jumping ship very soon - stay away from sales

Pros

- the immediate GTM team is a mixed bag but most folks are friendly, hard-working, and smart. - that's about it

Cons

- all of it but particularly the GTM org, leadership, and business model i joined workos expecting high-velocity growth, but once inside, it became clear that most of our ARR comes from the same handful of large AI customers, many of whom were brought in through internal connections. outside of usage-based add-ons driven by those accounts, there’s almost no meaningful expansion, and the ceo’s resistance to longer-term contracts makes the sales motion even less sustainable. from the outside, the company looks strong with big marketing pushes and recognizable logos. internally, the gtm org is struggling. sales is being led by someone with a customer support background and no real sales experience, and the only other ae is sharp but too early in her career to recognize the gaps. i’m actively exploring new opportunities because the current model and culture don’t feel viable without major change.

Pros

+ Strong early team, lots of Stripe, Dropbox, etc alums + Fully remote with bi-annual in-person meet ups + Product & Eng-led culture + Strong business traction but still very early on (great time to join!) + Great culture for folks who like autonomy + Well-funded w solid business offers a lot of stability for a company of our stage (~50 employees)

Cons

- Typical growing pains of a small company scaling rapidly (very little process, etc) - Fast-paced culture (take that as a pro or con)

Pros

WorkOS is an exciting place to work. The company is grown quite a bit the past year, and seems to have a bright future ahead of it. Everyone on the team has a "get things done" attitude. All of the managers lean towards "high trust" and providing autonomy to reports. If you want to focus on building things in an environment that prioritizes quality, this is the place for you.

Cons

Like any startup at this stage, there are some growing pains. With so many new folks joining, management still needs to find the right processes to make scaling the organization smooth.
