Pros

Strong product with very clear vectors for growth. Dynamic international team fueled by desire to move fast; growth and innovation is all. Opportunities to learn, own, and deliver are everywhere - yours if you want them. Very sociable, multi-cultural atmosphere. People are extremely passionate about success of their teams. Downtown office with downtown perks; fun office crowd with rich social life - hanging out after work is a norm.

Cons

As a startup, the company is laser focused on growth and disruption of the market; this requires a certain degree of creative chaos and often leaves alignment, structure, and base levels of Maslow's pyramid on the sidelines. There is constant action - if you cannot thrive in a hustle, it will not be an easy gig.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
