Pros

Good peers - people are great, not including management Important mission - overall a positive product for the world

Cons

Management - people are terrible, arrogant and literally abusive. Not willing to hear a single word you say, they know everything and you should just obey. Makes you wonder why the hired you with experience if they just want robots that fill orders. They instil terror and fear, it's just horrible. And it trickles down from c-level management down to mid management, who are also being abused. Will never get over the trauma, it just crushed my entire self confidence for years Culture - absolutely toxic. If you want your winds to be cut down, go work there Zero trust - you are enemy and a threat to the company, they always try to find where you do wrong and have no faith and trust in employees Cheap - bad bad bad salaries, unwilling to give raises (they will find every excuse on the planet to prove you are unworthy of it), RSUs are granted for only a select number of people. Outside you'll double your salary Employees are not valued. You can see that in everything they do. They only care about shareholders revenue, and that's it.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
