Pros

Innovation and problem solving is key at this company. If you have brilliant ideas and know how to deliver, management is receptive and will give you the tools to succeed. You also have the opportunity to work with top talent in the Austin office as well as our burgeoning San Francisco office which is chockfull of startup veterans who lead by example, get into the trenches. Learn through osmosis with the top talent on board at Bigcommerce, deliver and your career will rocket!

Cons

If you're passionate about making a difference, you may see yourself working beyond a 40 hour week. You don't have to in order to stay with the team, but don't expect a promotion if you aren't willing to put in the time.

Pros

There is a lot of new leadership breathing newness into the company. There is a rebrand on the horizon, different focuses and positioning, complimentary portfolio products, brilliant staff, new company values and more.

Cons

There has been a ton of change and while the new leadership is great, they are still getting their touch on things. This isn't all so much a con in general as it is to absorb, communicate, explain and soak in.

Pros

- BC hires great people - Is finally focusing on the product and its ideal customer rather than trying to be a product that it isn't. - Supportive culture - Good work life balance - Senior and Director leadership is caring and supportive - Really positive outlook for the product

Cons

- Has cut 10% of staff every year for the last 3 years and last year they cut most of their top performers that brought in the most revenue - No 401k match (although they may now) - Lower pay than most tech companies for the same roles - Either BC has the right people in place or they have the right direction to work in with the right leadership but never both - If you are remote, you aren't invited to the office much even for kick offs or planning. So you will feel a bit secluded. - Not much room for career growth as they keep cutting people
