Pros

Hustle has a very diverse workforce which is the result of a coordinated effort to recruit such a workforce.

Cons

Leadership: Senior leadership in this company is lacking strategy and direction. This failure has led to wasted money, an unbalanced workforce, and several rounds of layoffs and firings of employees. Without a major change in direction and leadership, I don't see the company being successful long term. Product: The product is awkward, clunky to use, and hard to learn. There's a total lack of urgency to fix these product problems. Culture: Despite the diverse work force, the culture here really needs some work. The culture is overly political and actively disempowers lower level employees. Work/Life Balance This seemed to vary team-by-team. Some teams appeared to be working very little, leaving at 4 or 5 PM, while other teams were overworked.

Pros

Good medical benefits, flexible time off and sabbatical policy (if you make it that long). Really fun culture and opportunities to get to know people outside of work meetings.

Cons

Stagnant career growth for employees that don't fall in line, huge disconnect between employees and management, vindictive behavior in senior leadership that was never addressed/ignored, poor hiring practices, hiring "experts" with no SaaS experience, fake mission and values, promoting based on tenure not performance, scaling too quickly leading to layoffs in the same year, some leaders within the organization demonstrated inefficiencies in budget management, resulting in the expenditure of over half a million dollars within a single year, and laying off a quarter of the staff six weeks before the end of the year with an insulting severance package. They'll lure you in with their mission, but beware, they're not ingrained in the day-to-day because if it was, all of leadership would be gone.
