Pros

- Bigcommerce is more than just an online Ecommerce platform. Looking beyond the product, it actually contributes to the global economy and helps medium-sized retailers employ people. It's an incredible feeling knowing that I'm part of a much bigger picture, contributing back to the economy and to the livelihoods of business owners - Current CEO (Brent Bellm) is one of the best CEO's I've been led by. He is strategic, has strong business and technical acumen, is a selfless leader and also very humble, genuine and caring. He understands and appreciates the gravity and responsibility of the people he leads. - Ecommerce is a broad ecosystem (payments, shipping, tax, inventory, themes management, apps management, mobile or web product, etc) and there is a fun and rewarding sense of rising to the challenge to overcome it - Standard Bay Area company perks (free lunches and well-stocked drinks fridge, well-stocked pantry)

Cons

Sometimes we struggle from a lack of process. Luckily, folks are encouraged to create them.

Pros

There is a lot of new leadership breathing newness into the company. There is a rebrand on the horizon, different focuses and positioning, complimentary portfolio products, brilliant staff, new company values and more.

Cons

There has been a ton of change and while the new leadership is great, they are still getting their touch on things. This isn't all so much a con in general as it is to absorb, communicate, explain and soak in.

Pros

- BC hires great people - Is finally focusing on the product and its ideal customer rather than trying to be a product that it isn't. - Supportive culture - Good work life balance - Senior and Director leadership is caring and supportive - Really positive outlook for the product

Cons

- Has cut 10% of staff every year for the last 3 years and last year they cut most of their top performers that brought in the most revenue - No 401k match (although they may now) - Lower pay than most tech companies for the same roles - Either BC has the right people in place or they have the right direction to work in with the right leadership but never both - If you are remote, you aren't invited to the office much even for kick offs or planning. So you will feel a bit secluded. - Not much room for career growth as they keep cutting people
