Pros

When I started in 2015, the product still kind of worked (even if pricing was out of whack) Good people and training/development existed 2015-2016 There were once solid benefits and pay

Cons

When you're "easy to do business with", you end up letting a lot of outright or borderline fraudulent "employers" onto the site. Software isn't your product. Candidates are your product. When you don't care about how often they're spammed with irrelevant or fake jobs, they stop using your site. Zero leadership development. Sales managers were routinely put in positions that they weren't ready for, and given no support to improve their leadership skills. Luckily I got out of there before it really got bad, but I've heard horror stories about life there now. Management's obvious attempts to boost their ratings speak to how dumb they think their current and potential employees are. I get why they do it (I do not envy their recruiters), but it's painfully obvious when the ratings trend is so negative, but then 4-5 positive reviews pop up all at once. Try being more subtle folks!

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
