Pros

Excellent benefits - fully paid medical/dental/vision for you and your entire family. Great team although many of the best have now left. Cool HQ in SF - unlimited snacks, drinks, beer/wine. Nice perks like $300 for headphones and $500 for a mobile device. CEO is very inspiring.

Cons

No 401k match, not work from home friendly for the most part. This place was great for many years but they have added some toxic people to the management teams (at the c-level and sales management level) that have made it just unbearable and a miserable environment which is so sad. Ridiculous goals that 75% of the team aren’t meeting, micromanaging at its worst, backstabbing, very little transparency. Half of the sales team has quit or been fired in 2019.
