Pros

- As I said in the headline: a people-first approach to management, to planning, to rewards, to customers, etc. - Actual and the best technologies are used for new product features; - Very transparent management: you are able to know everything about any aspect of the company; - Competitive salary, regular small, but very pleasant "bonuses" from the company; - Equity shares, that constantly grows; - Opportunity to help amazing customers from Fortune 500; - One of the best CEO I've ever met before.

Cons

- Technically complex product that was developed by a lot of developers during the last decade. A lot of different approaches, a lot of outdated technologies. A lot of work still to be done to move the product forward. - Transparency leads to a lot of meetings, something that you should be used to as a newcomer.

Poorly Handled Layoffs and Fake People First Culture

Pros

- Seth the CEO is good at hear. Unfortunately does not have a good team around him to guide in decisions and was caught up in the WeWork mess. - If you hustle, there is a lot of opportunities to grow your skills and learn new areas of business - Investment in sales enablement and training

Cons

- Due to WeWork mess, they needed to right size the company which makes a lot of sense and needed. They over hired because WeWork demanded Conductor to grow. However, there were rumors for almost 2 months that no one knew if there were layoffs and it caused a lot of toxic behavior in the office. There was no acknowledgment from HR nor the leaders of how bad the rumors were and effort to have empathy for employees. There was also a big showcase in favoritism. A select few were given almost a 2 months heads up and then completely underperformed or not even show up to work while receiving their salary. They had additional time compared to those that were totally blind sided the day of the layoffs and then they still received severance. if you do something for one, you need to do for all out of being fair. In addition, HR was fully aware of this favoritism and did not act at all. They laid us off before the holidays with only 2 months given that a month was thrown away because no one would be hiring over christmas and first half of January. To make things worse, everyone in the office saw the group that "got the email" walk to a conference room where they fired us. Then they made us walk all the way back to our desk in front of the whole company to pack up. This was a very horrible and humiliating experience having the whole company watch me literally get fired. It was handled so poorly and with a lot of lack of respect. - The is tremendous amount of favoritism and gossip - Leadership needs better consultants and team members to make better strategy decision. They are very disorganized at the moment - Because of them giving hand outs to who they like most, there are people in very senior roles with no business being there.

Pros

- Quality of hires has gotten better and better every year. Really impressed by the intelligence and commitment of my colleagues. - Leadership legitimately cares about employees. They welcome feedback. They promote work-life balance. They celebrate your personal and professional growth. - When adversity strikes, people step up and ask how they can help. This is true for the business, for charitable causes, or for personal issues. Simply put, most people are kind and thoughtful and want to know how they can help their company, their colleagues, and their customers.

Cons

- You might find better pay elsewhere, depending on your role. (Though is is somewhat balanced by benefits) - As in most places I've worked, it's an extroverted, "sell yourself" culture. Introverts here have to play that game. (The People team has made strides in this area, however) - As with many start-ups, process is often seen as a hindrance.
