Pros

The culture is unique in many ways and not just because it is an all remote company. You feel welcomed and get a lot of attention to chime in into your team so you can be effective as early as possible. The technology is awesome and sells very well and offers so many categories to specialize in. Onboarding seems well thought through and the company handbook is not just text but actually lived, I was very very much surprised by this. I am here for roughly two months and do not regret the change.

Cons

There is a lot to learn and pick up. But if you are like me then this is all interesting technical stuff. I cannot really talk about cons because I have not found any.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
