Solid place to work, with room for improvement

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great product - 3 days in office per week - good resources and systems in place to enhance individual and cross-functional performance - nice office and in-office benefits like catered lunch 3x/week, snacks, drinks, and occasional events - pretty solid benefits

Cons

Some people think we’re underpaid It can be stressful to hit numbers, and a lot of people don’t hit a couple of the targets (there are 3), so they don’t get full bonus payout - Your quality of support and coaching from your manager may vary but feels a bit limited in general (mostly have to rely on peers for more beneficial help)
