Pros

Great Benefits Great Salary Product is excellent

Cons

Unfortunately, sales just aren't happening in the B2B space. If you want a job literally in any other department, you're set up for security and stability, but the quotas are increasingly becoming unattainable. Most sales are occurring with getting accounts that already exist to become "sales-assisted" or upgrade, but net new simply isn't occurring at the rate that people are being pushed at. There's also pressure to sell "AI" even though you cannot sell per license but to an entire workspace, making it one of the most expensive products on the market on top of the fact that it simply doesn't compete with current competitors. Don't join the sales org here, run away.

Pros

There’s an actual (free) coffee shop in the office, the workspace is beautiful, and the pay is highly competitive. For the most part, you’re working with really smart colleagues, which is great. Plus, the tool itself is widely used and loved, and it actually makes your day-to-day job a lot easier when it's running smoothly.

Cons

The high turnover here is pretty exhausting, and it feels like people are constantly leaving. Communication from management is also really stressful—there’s almost no heads-up or clear feedback if someone needs to improve, so people and even managers just get blindsided by sudden PIPs or getting let go. Roadmaps change constantly, too. While the All Hands meetings are super inspiring, they usually just spiral into management shifting direction completely and forcing you into another crazy, unrealistic deadline. On top of all that, the tool itself runs pretty slow on the production side, which just adds to the daily frustration.
