Pros

Products which are just about better than the competition. There are still a few decent people to work with ( but they keep leaving )

Cons

Sales make up the financial improvments a new customer can get. Then CS get blamed when the customer doesn't realise the improvements and leaves. Recruitment is now focused on getting the cheapest, not the best. Penny-pinching aproach to expenses. No longer treated like adults, but have to justify every coke and bottle of water. Expense payments get withheld every month. Bonus plan constantly changing. Need to work harder to get less and need to fight to get paid what is owed. No product innovation, just reheating stuff from 5 years ago. No real company growth - as one customer joins another leaves. Benefits & perks are a long way behind the market.

Pros

- New product vision and strategy that builds on history of artificial intelligence and solving specific use cases - Incredible culture of collaboration and kind people who like to solve problems - Huge vision for growth that challenges the status quo and is willing to take risks and make mistakes - Remote first environment allows for flexibility - So many things are changing and opportunities for growth. If you can figure out a solution you can go after it which is a career trajectory changing opportunity.

Cons

- There has been a lot of change in the transformation and periods where it has been unclear of the path. Uncertainty and fast paced environment isnt for everyone. - Remote first environment is a pro but can be a challenge when driving change because things can get lost in translation

Pros

Amazing team members Great marketing leadership Highly intelligent people

Cons

Company is in a rapid decline. Multiple layoffs since November 2025, no real grasp on strategy. Sales and marketing are on complete different pages - marketing is working the new product, sales doesn't want to sell it (which is what they've been measured on) Amazing marketing leadership, but stay far away until the company can figure out what's next.
