Pros

This company works hard to make sure employees feel cared for and happy. They make a great product, and have happy customers. There is a very active pipeline, and best of all the founders have made it abundantly clear they have no interest in being bought by an investment company (which IMO is the death of all that is good in a company) and they have taken steps to ensure a hostile takeover cannot happen as well.

Cons

my biggest beef is that the office chairs are horrible. even with a doctors note you may be told that you are welcome to bring in any chair you wish. really seems to be in conflict with the companies ideals in every other area.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
