Pros

The Product organization is world class and the CEO is a great human. The former CRO was the most empathetic leaders Ive worked for and the team has great vibe about it.

Cons

They hired a leader for Partnerships in December of 2022 who ran the organization into the ground with poor management and harassment of team members. Several high performing team members voluntarily left due to feeling unsupported by senior leaders despite complaints being made to HR and others on the leadership team. Turnover on the sales, marketing and partnerships is high because people turn a blind eye to culturally toxic behaviors. Did they even do a reference check?

Pros

Employees are encouraged to explore AI and automation tools, which creates strong opportunities to build future-relevant skills and experiment with process improvements beyond traditional role boundaries.

Cons

There can be a strong culture around visibility and perception here. In practice, employees often learn that highly visible work tends to carry more weight in performance and compensation discussions than work happening behind the scenes. It creates an environment where people naturally optimize for exposure rather than long-term process improvement. For prospective employees, especially those who prefer impact-driven work over visibility-driven work, It's worth thinking carefully about whether this environment aligns with your working style and career expectations.
