Pros

Used to have a great culture but it’s performative now and not real. Run! It is fully remote for most employees so that’s good.

Cons

This company does not care about employees at all. they had one person managing culture who kept the community alive and they laid them off. The only department that they care about is sales, every other department or team is not valuable to them . they care about profit and that’s it, and they can’t even hit their sales numbers. They did layoffs instead of firing the exec leading sales, which is severely underperforming, then ended up firing him anyway after the layoffs of innocent employees (not a single sales person affected for some reason?) while burning several bridges. This company is failing and it’s failing fast and it’s clear the ceo just wants to get the company to a place they can be acquired. Speaking of acquisition, they acquired a company foolishly too and it was all downhill from there. They also are terrified of anything “deib” to the point that they can’t even support or mention things like Pride or diverse holidays or anything with the LQBTQ community (you aren’t safe here). Their ethos means absolutely nothing but they’ll act like it’s their guiding light. Their actual guiding light is lining the pockets of execs and the investors at Goldman Sachs. Do not join this company, they will make foolish decisions and then lay people off. Tell me why they’re continuing to hire more sales quota carrying people when their current ones can’t even hit quota? Nobody there can make any decisions that make sense. Amateur hour. Also, the salary for 99% of employees is way too low, it’s honestly insulting. And their “generous” 4 week severance packages for surprise layoffs is even more insulting. Avoid like the plague.

Pros

Remote work with the option to go into the office

Cons

They promote flexibility and work-life balance, but management doesn't actually follow through with that. Management is a cult and looks down on employees. Raises are non-existent. They will lay you off with no warning or PIP. No career adavncement opportunities.
