Culture needs improvement

Pros

Lunch was provided 3 days a week. Unlimited snacks.

Cons

It's a total Bro culture. In fact most execs are White or Asian men. There are very few people of color of both sexes in the company. Which is amazing since HQ is in NYC and not a small metro area. The majority of people of color are admins and the people that serve lunch. There might be some token Black and Hispanic people in each department but they are likely treated poorly. Every mistake and decision is scrutinized to the point you fear for your job. Meanwhile the Bros can do whatever they want and say what they want with little or no punishment.

Cons

- Lack of diversity on sales team. - Small operational inconsistencies such as people not getting paid the same amount in starting paychecks. - "Bro" culture is prevalent. - Need to establish yourself as a "big player" early or you will get left in the dust.

Fast growing company with high potential

Pros

Incredible product that’s a great fit in the market and adding features at a rapid pace. Market leading growth rate that will almost certainly lead to an ipo. Once customers buy that don’t leave the platform and expand quickly. Deals are getting bigger and bigger. Huge TAM.

Cons

Technology is designed to be sold to prospects with modern IT, if they don’t have that or aren’t moving in that direction, can be a challenging sale. Growing very fast so people have to work hard and it can be hard to get the right resources at times.
