Pros

Great leaders that are actually approachable and act like human beings, fun problems to solve, strong investors, surrounded by some of the brightest and most talented individuals I have ever worked with here. The product is the best in the industry, and we are growing like crazy. Starting to feel like we are very well staffed as well with enough people to do the job. Competitive pay, and stock that looks like it has a good shot to go somewhere. Good benefits. I love this place.

Cons

There really aren't a ton at this point. Used to feel like my team was understaffed to do the job but this is no longer an issue. You definitely need to be willing to put in the hours here but it is nothing unreasonable. I'd still say not a good place for those that just want to rest and vest. The one place on the benefits side I think could use some improvement is a better 401k match, we at least have some sort of match at the moment. We still have room to improve the product itself in the upmarket and enterprise space, but we have made the investment here and we will be best in class there very soon!

Pros

Great salary, I work on a team that has excellent balance. I get recognized when I do good work.

Cons

Company has a big focus on AI, but not sure we’re all marching in the same direction and often doesn’t feel like a good use of resources.

Pros

* Remote-first culture with flexibility. * Competitive market-rate compensation.

Cons

* **Too many layers of management.** There are excessive management layers that often create bottlenecks and encourage micromanagement instead of empowering employees to better serve customers and build great products. * **Lack of investment in IC.** Many teams remain understaffed, resulting in consistently high workloads. Burnout is common, and employees are frequently expected to take on responsibilities well beyond their role and pay band without recognition. * **"Flexible PTO" doesn't feel truly flexible.** While the company advertises flexible PTO, in practice there appears to be an informal limit/fake. Taking around three weeks or more of PTO can draw leadership attention, and it can feel like using the benefit may negatively affect performance reviews, even when work expectations are met. This discourages employees from taking the time off they need to recharge.
