Pros

-great product -nice location -booming industry -good co-workers

Cons

-awkward hours (10-7) -no flexibility to work from home -sales bonus structure is not motivating -unrealistic expectations and goals are set for employees -new product release dates are always pushed back, which makes it hard to keep up with competitors -people are promoted based on seniority, rather than being a good fit for a role -there is little to no room for growth -no annual raises are given to sales people because "you can just make extra money by working harder and hitting sales bonuses" -you are not just doing sales, you're also an operator/admin. asst, customer service agent, and a renewal specialist -when people leave, instead of rushing to hire someone new, they just dump their work on others

Pros

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Cons

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
