Pros

- Mature, professional, smart and genuinely friendly people - No tech company BS - we get our own lunches like adults, and we enjoy the company Gather Hour and 1/week lunch and breakfast as a time to connect with people across the company. If you are looking for free food (other than the awesome snacks), this isn't for you - No pets - again, aligns with the "work hard and go home" motto. - Amazing baristas on multiple floors - this one can spoil you rotten - The company has experienced, smart leaders in product, sales, comms, engineering etc who are very down-to-earth and approachable

Cons

- As I've seen other reviews mention, a lot of systems and data are really difficult to access or use. If you joined in the last 1-2 years (as so many have), you probably don't know where to find it. - Growing pains with processes, such as OKR processes that are rolled out without much direction on how to measure results consistently across teams! - If you are considering any role on the marketing team, think 10 times. That team has been rudderless and with many conflicting visions for too long. Even with a brand new CMO, things are going to take a *long* time to come around. There is a lot of politics, as people who were hired in leadership positions were hired when the company wanted SMB/consumer backgrounds. Most are less qualified for the company's current vision and enterprise focus. I think that team has had 2-3 re-orgs and team changes in the last 1 year. They just announced a big re-org and some good people are gone. The team and functions are so fragmented it's difficult to get any projects done smoothly if marketing is involved. Marketing leaders quite aware of these problems but it's clear they are more focused on what their roles are going to be in the new org rather than solving them. The relationship with sales has improved but marketing is still far from being a great (much less equal) partner to sales, product management, and other teams.
