Pros

There are some good people stuck here.

Cons

This is a sales focused organization. The product management “lead” lacks training, experience and understanding but does have the “yes” attitude required by the CEO to continue the sales catering/focus and the detrimental actions that negatively impact customers via the product(s) as well as team morale. e.g. pushing a product to release when it is not ready to ensure it meets sales, and then blame the user for its failure. Google wayfinder ratings and you'll find a 2.6 review rating: Pay is sub par. Benefits are offensive. Culture is toxic and misogynistic e.g. CEO enters meetings at whatever time he wants that could be ten /five minutes before the meeting is scheduled to end, CEO holds a meeting Friday afternoon to talk about himself... Read other reviews and good luck.

Pros

The mission is genuine and meaningful. Helping schools and public safety communities is real work that matters. Many employees at the staff level are talented, collaborative, and committed. Some managers are genuinely good leaders who care about their teams

Cons

Senior leadership and management are frequently not aligned on company direction, priorities, or expectations. This creates confusion, shifting goals, and a work environment where doing your job well is harder than it needs to be. Compensation is notably below market for the industry and role types. The mission drives loyalty and the company relies on that loyalty to retain people it could not otherwise keep at the compensation it offers. That dynamic is real and worth understanding before you accept an offer. In my experience the HR function operated primarily in the interest of the company rather than employees. In my experience concerns raised through HR were not handled with genuine neutrality. Employees who push back or raise legitimate issues found the process worked against them not for them. In my observation strong managers and contributors were often overlooked while certain leaders with poor judgment remained in place. This appeared to be a consistent pattern during my time there. The culture has a cult-like quality driven by belief in the mission. That is not inherently bad but it creates an environment where serious organizational problems get minimized or ignored because people want to believe in what the company is doing. Taken together these issues created a work environment that was genuinely difficult to sustain long term.
