Pros

- Hiring process was very smooth. I was surprised by how responsive and respectful of my time they were - Interview was pretty rigorous, but focused as much on cultural fit as on technical experience. I think this shows appreciation for the big picture - Since being hired, work has been fast paced and very interesting - Most of the tooling is cutting edge, using new technology is always up for consideration - Even though everyone is remote, we keep in close touch on Slack. Communication is fun and casual, but also to the point and efficient - There is a lot of work to be done, many opportunities to help out

Cons

- The hoodie they gave me doesnt have enough pockets - Work at a young and (very) fast-growing business can be a bit frenetic

Pros

Great coworkers, exciting tech at the time.

Cons

Private Equity ruins everything. Our reward after hitting the “best quarter ever” was to be told by our drug-addled CEO that we can’t “live in the past” and he berated members of the leadership team for not getting off to a stronger start that current quarter. Shortly thereafter a few of the top (competent) leaders left, (including the role that calculated our commissions), the CEO was fired, a clueless bootlicker was put in to replace him, and a round of layoffs took out 50% of Sales, all of whom were stiffed on their quarterly commission (which was roughly 1/2 of their overall compensation). A few months later management had the audacity to try to bring some salespeople back - all of whom laughed as they went on to work elsewhere.
