Pros

The people, amazing product, work at home options, good health benefits, free snacks

Cons

- Cold calling 9-5 - Sales-leads are not properly vetted - Though they've signed up for more information, a good portion of your leads: are unaware of what the product does, do not need the product, aren't qualified to make use of the product or can make business decision using the product, can't afford it, or just wants someone to talk to (this happens alot), or a buddy signed them up to be contacted - There's no clear company goals or strategy to address shareholder's interest - There's no upward mobility in this position - Theres no engineers in the American office, and they barely speak English (they are good people and do try hard to communicate with you) - You do not need a degree for this job - You might get fat working here - It does not matter the department, you're pigeon-holing yourself if accept this job out of college and stay here too long.

Pros

The product is an industry leader, making it exciting to work on. The teams are filled with incredibly smart, creative, and collaborative people. Benefits and remote flexibility are solid, and there are good opportunities to learn SEO and digital marketing deeply.

Cons

The work culture can occasionally lean toward working harder than playing hard especially as the company scales.
