Pros

-Great perks -Jack, very thoughtful and intelligent CEO -Working alongside great colleagues -Employee stock purchase plan

Cons

-Management spiraled out of control and there’s no looking back. There were many terrible hiring decisions made in a sprint to 3x the senior sales organization. -Toxic environment on many teams -Pay is way lower than industry standard -Existing employees are expected to carry most of the burden in training new hires due to poor management hires. -For a senior role you shouldn’t be expected to manage anymore that 50% of onboarding, refine the onboarding process and remove almost all of the burden from the sales people closing the deals. It’s not their job to spend copious amounts of time onboarding business. -I would encourage a future employee look elsewhere.
