Pros

- Genuinely kind and smart coworkers (Seriously. Some of the nicest people I've met in the industry) - Supportive team level managers - PTO/benefits - Decent pay - Interesting domain. - Sane interview process (no Leetcode puzzles) - Name brand recognition

Cons

- Stock/Company performance - Confusing/inconsistent road map - Constant reorgs, (stealth layoffs), vague messaging from up top - Director+ management is out of touch and tone deaf - Tanking morale at the IC level. Most teams are understaffed + overworked leading to mistakes - Acquisitions that don't gel with the core platform for a coherent user experience

Pros

It was a wonderful company when I joined back in 2017. Truly the best place I've ever worked for in my 10+ years in sales. People were helpful, intelligent, humble (including almost all execs), and driven. Benefits were fantastic as well, and pay was just under industry average but lots of room to make a lot more than OTE due to uncapped commissions. Execs were willing to join customer meetings even with smaller accounts, thinking strategically, not transactionally. I enjoyed my 4 years there, and while this review is extremely overdue, it was my experience and I'd go back there in a heartbeat if I were still doing sales.

Cons

Some things have changed since I left, but there are still many people remaining at the company for over 5-8 years and tell me things are still better than some other tech companies their spouses or friends work. PD tightened up spend to get to profitability, which resulted in some layoffs over the last couple years as well. Now with the departure of Jenn Tejada and new CEO coming onboard, it's going to be interesting to see where he'll take the company moving forward.

Pros

they have existing customers, most are churning

Cons

Leadership is incompetent and micro manages. Full of middle management that doesn't help move the needle just tries to cover up their poor performance by blaming others. Poor culture, no one seems to enjoy working there and most are on their way out whether by choice or constant layoffs
