Pros

You'll be sold a lot of promises when you first start so that you'd accept the offer

Cons

Management are too far removed from Europe and have not taken the time to understand the complexities of running an international organization. From hiring practices, inclusivity, to equality in the workplace. There is no regard for the people who work there, most especially in sales. All they care about it that you hit your quota and keep your head down if you can do that then this is the place for you. If you don't hit your quota prepare to be compared to your colleagues or worse yet handed a performance improvement plan that initiates your exit. All of which poorly handled without any empathy or regard for you as a human being. Multiple waves of sales reps have come and gone and no, it's not because they wanted to leave or it's 'natural' churn as they like to present it to the rest of the employees. It's because things did not change. If you want to hear the real truth just message any of the old sales reps who used to work there. They'll tell you, this place is the definition of a toxic workplace.

Pros

Working with truly wonderful, smart, and competent coworkers. Good mission. Walks the "Employees are family" talk with exceptional benefits, such as half days every other Friday, unlimited PTO, and lots of tiny benefits that add up to a lot of love. Most employees like most other employees, which is huge. There is a lot of trust going both ways.

Cons

Salaries are lower than you could get elsewhere and the organization runs lean in terms of available hands to solve the many issues. I think it's a good tradeoff in return for which you get stability that's rare in tech; they're slow to hire, slow to promote, but they're slow to fire, and so far I've never seen a layoff.

Pros

Remote first, and FastSpring Friday's are amazing.

Cons

Will have a lot on your plate most of the time. You'll get to learn a lot.
