Pros

Some genuinely nice people focused on the mission and doing the right thing. CFO is a bright spot.

Cons

CEO has an in crowd who party with him and are promoted and protected regardless of their ugly work behavior or what they do not accomplish at work. COO lacks empathy and EQ. HR has gone downhill last few years. Parties and yoga are fluff. Serious concerns and leadership issues are ignored. Trying to play in the enterprise space is not working despite years focused on that space.

Pros

Very supportive managers and a fun, highly collaborative team. The department fosters an environment where ideas are openly shared and opportunities for improvement are discussed constructively without toxicity. Truly the best company I’ve worked for so far.

Cons

The interview process was somewhat lengthy, and salary discussions were not entirely consistent.

Pros

It was okay before the favoritism and gender pay gaps

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism. When I found out I was making far less than a male coworker in the same role with less years of experience, they did nothing to rectify the situation. Also, the CEO is far too involved in Product and dictates rather than collaborates
