Business Outlook

Pros

Incredible benefits, good opportunities for stretch projects

Cons

very little direction for CSMs, you have to be a self-starter and even then it's a lot of banging your head against a wall - the expectation is low though

Just like any other tech company

Product marketing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits in general, sabbatical after 5, 10, 15, etc years of service on top of unlimited PTO (which is only beneficial if you have a good manager), haven't mandated us to be back in the office - currently optional/suggested, mostly a hybrid situation.

Cons

Legacy people/leadership. Massive internal roadblocks to get things done fast and try new innovative ways of doing things. Very political and hieratical. It's become a cut-throat, people taking credit for other people's work, gossipy, unhealthy, and toxic environment where going above and beyond is the norm and expectation. No work life balance. Always on.
