Pros

Autonomy Flexibility/ WFH Office perks Great product Company invests heavily in onboarding

Cons

Lack of career growth opportunities Young and inexperienced management No diversity especially in the sales org Not the place for strong female leaders to succeed Your past experience and education is of no value once you join, expect to wipe your slate clean and start over Perks and compensation is more suited for young professionals in their early 20s

Sad to hear this, and particularly sad that you don't feel it' s a place for female leader to succeed, particularly given it's my personal passion area and something we've invested a huge amount of resources and time into. Would love to hear your feedback in person if you have time/interest in sharing it. Glad you like the product and the flexibility we offer, thanks for taking the time to write a review and for your feedback to help us grow. -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
