Pros

- Great Perks, some good teams, fast-growing

Cons

- LinkedIn can speak for itself. Tons of first-time managers - Asked to bcc all interactions to your manager - Success is more of a support gig - Boss will yell out you privately, and then throw you under the bus to save themselves - Success often makes fun of their own customers. Heard threats of "My way or the highway" - Many act to be your friend, but if you listen closely - they are actually talking behind your back

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
