Pros

You will be pushed to your breaking point, which will force you to learn how to think on your feet and juggle TONS at once. This is not much or a pro, since you can learn the same things at a different job where you won't have to deal with constant abuse.

Cons

One word: TOXIC If you get into the interview process, you will notice a lot of red flags. Don't ignore these! SaaStr is by far the worst job I have ever had. Turnover for employees was 2-3 months (if that), with good reason. The way leadership treats employees is appalling. Employees are abused DAILY. Goals are unclear and those who dare ask for clarification are met with scorn and more abuse. People are consistently set up for failure by the CEO and then blamed for problems that are outside of their control or even caused by leadership. The CEO is an entitled jerk who seems to think that the success at his former company has granted him godlike insight into every minutia of business. It has not. He pivots and will make major changes on a whim without consulting a single person he has hired and then expects everyone to drop what they are doing and work excessive hours without notice. He refuses to listen to any advice and will berate anyone who critiques him or suggests a different route. Employees function in a state of constant exhaustion and stress. These are good people who work hard and know what they are doing, but are not given the chance to succeed because they are constantly being undermined. You will notice that there are many 5-star reviews on this page and the rest are 1-star. That's because the real employees only leave 1-star reviews, so the CEO and his cronies have gone and padded the page with fakes. There aren't even that many people in the company (like 70% of employees at this tiny company would have to have written reviews for these to all be real). I'm surprised they haven't been flagged, but this is a pretty clear indication of the depths leadership will go to save face, rather than make real changes at the company. Stay away from SaaStr. Work hard somewhere else, get the respect and recognition you deserve.

Pros

I have been working at SaaStr Inc for over a year now and I am impressed with the company culture, leadership and team collaboration. The company provides an open and supportive work environment where employees are encouraged to share their ideas and collaborate on projects. The leadership team is driven but approachable and always willing to listen to employee feedback, which helps create a positive work environment. The work-life balance at SaaStr Inc is also excellent although hectic around events as is necessary. Flexible working hours, remote work options and wellness perks ensure that employees can maintain a healthy balance between work and personal life. The company's mission to help organizations succeed in the SaaS industry is truly inspiring. The team is dedicated and passionate about the work they do and it is evident in the results they deliver. I have also had the opportunity to grow and develop professionally at SaaStr. The company provides training and development opportunities for employees to enhance their skills and knowledge. Overall, I recommend SaaStr. The company values its employees and is committed to creating a positive and supportive work environment.

Cons

The run up to the big events is always intense Lots of ownership not for everyone
