Pros

• Flexible remote setup • Opportunities to take initiative, though unfortunately, often without recognition

Cons

• In April 2023, the team was tasked with a time-sensitive ABM lead generation project, with a clear verbal agreement to pay at a premium rate if completed on time. The work was delivered, the deadline met, and months later, the company announced multiple new clients acquired through those very leads. Yet, no one was compensated as promised. • Employees were later asked to redo some of the leads, with another verbal promise of payment, but still, no compensation followed. This has left many team members feeling exploited and misled. • No formal contracts were provided to remote workers, and most agreements were made informally via Slack or email. This lack of documentation creates a serious vulnerability for international team members. • Communication with upper management is poor, and concerns raised by the team are often ignored, minimized, or dismissed entirely. • A culture of negative reinforcement created a demoralizing atmosphere for many employees, especially in the offshore teams.

Pros

- Great product with a ton of runway, and strong growth each year I've been here. - Solid work-life balance once you get up and running; once confidence is earned, it's a warm, trusting work environment with great benefits.

Cons

- Building the plane while we're flying it 100% of the time - Decision bottlenecks with a flat leadership team - Fire drills part of daily life (start-up)

Pros

- Leadership genuinely listens - both my manager and CEO have been receptive to feedback. - Strong mentorship from my direct manager, who carves out dedicated time to support my growth and check in on my workload - Hard work gets recognized - I received an unprompted raise due to work-ethic & performance recognition. - The role strikes a great balance between leveraging what I already know and being pushed to grow in new directions - The team is genuinely great to work with day to day - Exciting growth phase - moving into a dedicated office space has added a real sense of momentum and establishment

Cons

- The recruiting and onboarding process can be inconsistent and occasionally misleading - multiple new hires (including myself) have come in with incorrect expectations around office days and hours. - Be sure to clarify in-office expectations explicitly during the offer stage, as what's communicated in interviews doesn't always match the reality on the ground.
