Pros

- Clear, compelling mission to help small businesses around the world grow and control their own destiny - "Root for the underdog" mentality - Results-oriented environment where risk taking is encouraged and rewarded - Extremely strong peer group - Terrific customers whose lives we can meaningfully and visibly impact - Competitive compensation - Work/life flexibility (may depend on the role, but lots of work-from-home, remote, unconventional work patterns are often fine - unlimited vacation which generally seems to amount to a slightly generous normal vacation allowance)

Cons

- High growth means high pressure - Tendency to focus on where we are weak/failing which can be exhausting at times - Depending on the department your job can change meaningfully over the course of even a year (or faster) and it can be hard to get in a groove

+1 on the why--we are working on a big push here for the company meeting in December, so if you have specific thoughts or input there, send them my way, would love to hear them. I also agree sometimes we can focus too much on what we need to fix versus what we are doing well, so that's something we need to continue to keep an eye on as we grow. Thanks for helping build a product our customers love--I'm extremely grateful to have a product team so committed to solving for the customer on a regular basis. -Katie

Pros

Great people, everyone is so understanding and supportive. Culture is fun and energizing, people seem happy to be here. There's lots of ways to get involved outside of your day job. Awesome benefits and flexibility - love the remote first work environment, week of rest, open PTO, etc. Robust tech stack - lots of tools available for me to do my job.

Cons

Experiencing some growing pains but leadership seems receptive to feedback on it.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
