Pros

Smart people. Willing to spend money to make money. Also a no ce group of people. The recognition program is very cool. If you are smart and really self motivated you could do well here.

Cons

This is a company that knows how important it is to look like they have a great culture... So take the best place to work awards and hype here with a BIG grain of salt. Very little strategy/plan coming from the exec. level. No real playbook here for sales, marketing or product. Sales comp is a mess. Those in charge do not share information or solicit the opinion of the rank and file. This creates a big disconnect from the top. Lack of strategy, roadmap or any goals apart from revenue goals. That hurts at every level.

Pros

Good benefits, and WFH policy

Cons

They did a massive round of layoffs in early 2023, ever since then the company has not been the same. This was followed by two more smaller rounds in 24' and 25'. A lot of smart and talented people lost their jobs, many dedicated folks who had been at the company for years. Since their management team can't create a positive workplace culture, its easier to just blame others and make cuts. The lack of documentation and formal processes is shocking, especially for a company that's been around for 25+ years. When you combine this with the incredibly siloed org structure, its a recipe for disaster. You'll often hear a response of...."because that's how we do things here". Transparency is non-existent; everything is on a need to know basis. This policy protects the veteran employees, and shuts out the newer talent. Many things are learned just through word of mouth, there's very little in terms of formal announcements. Some employees will be drowning with work, while others do very little, this is just one side effect of their truly incompetent management team.

Pros

Your colleagues and a great product.

Cons

They don't practice what they preach. I loved the idea and product, but management doesn't on their mission.
