Pros

- OK pay and benefits - Flexibility and remote work - Many talented and dedicated ICs, along with a few excellent directors and C-suite leaders

Cons

- Constant changes in product direction with little stability, including misguided attempts to mirror the European market - Career growth is very limited and compensation is below market levels in many department; your career here will plateau quickly for you if you're in the product or design or engineering orgs - The product is also very stagnant for all sides of the marketplace experience currently: homeowners and pros - Significant inefficiencies and waste in how work is prioritized and delivered - Upper-level design and product leadership includes individuals whose strong egos, brash personalities and poor decision-making create dysfunction and low trust - Some frontline managers create very toxic, micromanaged environments that drain morale - Strategic vision lacks coherence and taste when it comes to the actual product experience - Overall design and product culture has deteriorated significantly in recent years - Bureaucratic interference from upper layers slows teams and stifles innovation - Risk aversion from leadership prevents teams from shipping and learning quickly - High technical debt from multiple acquisitions with little focus on unifying or improving experience quality - Morale is low across many product, design, and engineering teams—especially after recent layoffs - Very few career growth paths; many talented folks have already left or are planning to

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
