Pros

-fantastic product, will win the space -the people in the Austin office are great to work with -generally speaking, you can find strong upward mobility if you have a proven track record

Cons

-pay is not competitive, especially for lower level roles but across the board -they are aggressively letting people go if they are not a 100%+ individual -there is an aura of fear or stress in the air about keeping your job -in the last two months they have fired a C-level, multiple VPs, directors, managers, and a large amount of individual contributors -they constantly bump up Account Executive quotas even if they weren't hit or were unattainable previously (for instance, they doubled quota this quarter even though the overwhelming majority of AEs did not hit previously)

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
