Pros

Contactually cares deeply for its employees and the future of the company. While some companies seem to drop the ball when times get tough- Contactually admits when there is a problem and actively seeks to fix it. The culture at the company is also great. It prioritizes a focus on interpersonal relationships and seeks to engrain its values into its employees. People are truly friends here and many hang out after work and on the weekends, because they genuinely enjoy each other-- there is never a feeling of "forced fun."

Cons

It's a tough and crowded industry. The product is great and provides a lot of value to users, but it's solving a problem that many are unaware that they have, which makes product/market fit tough. As such, there has been some setbacks on the opportunity side of things and turnover that has come with it, but it seems far more focused on specific verticals now and will likely turn this around.

Pros

The team is simply amazing: smart, fun, caring, and willing to go above and beyond to help out. It's clear the founders have tried really hard to bring on only the best people that not only will do great work, but will also fit well with our unique/funky/quirky culture. I feel like I have a lot of flexibility in my role to focus on what's most important; I'm not micromanaged, and I've had the ability to take on more and more responsibility as the company has grown. We're super transparent as well. I can talk to anyone in the company -- including the CEO -- about anything that's on my mind, and no question is off limits (for ex, everyone knows how much cash is in the bank and the founders regularly report on our fundraising efforts and revenue growth metrics). I've worked in a big company and small startups, and Contactually is the best hands-down.

Cons

The company is growing fast and we've had our share of issues. We try so many new things that it often feels like there's always something broken or a process that's not quite right, and it can be frustrating. But I think that's normal.

Thanks for your comment, and appreciate the kind words about me! Yes, as we've scaled we have had our fair share of issues. Part of the reason why we're bringing on more senior advisors, investors, etc is that they bring with them enough experience and scar tissue that we can predict what's coming down the pike.
