- Great medical benefits, 401k - Free food in the cafe - Free coffee and smoothies - All employees are great and willing to help you

Cons

- Entry level employees have to work undesirable hours for months (11-8 or 10-7) - Constantly dealing with frustrated customers - The platform is too big and not user-friendly - Training is not in-depth enough - Poor communication between Support and other departments (Sales, Product, Success) - Entry-level employees limited to Support roles, can take years to move up in the company out of Support or Success

Sorry to hear you've not had the best experience--we just launched a whole new portal of skills based training to help folks with internal mobility, and have a massive number of folks grow from Support into other roles in the business, but it's always a work in progress and something we can continue to improve upon, so thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. Sincerely, 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.
