Pros

Colleagues are incredibly generous with their time and the product itself is a thing of beauty. Truly mission-oriented. While you'll never hear it described as a "social enterprise", CF dedicates a ton of pro-bono resources to protecting democratic elections, user privacy and free speech around the world.

Cons

Management operations could be improved. But Managers themselves are universally-liked. No clear path for career advancement

Thanks for the review. We are glad you are here. One of my favorite parts of working here is how mission -driven the company is, so I'm glad you feel that too. We did a lot of work in 2018 to help make career paths more clear. And you'll see more of that in 2019 too. Come see me if you want to talk more, in person. Cheers - janet

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
