Pros

Working with talented, intelligent, driven, and extremely helpful people. Startup tech life at its finest: beer, whiskey, ping pong, dart gun wars, free lunch that taste great, useful/purposeful technology, thoughtful approach to solving real problems, not having to work long hours like most startups, fun & frequent company outings, and an open environment. CEO is easy to approach, will listen to anyone's comments, and is personable. Pay and benefits are hard to beat.

Cons

Ive been here for almost a half year and have been searching for something to dislike/improve. I felt at some point the "honeymoon period" would wear off. It still hasn't... The one thing that is sometimes hard to deal with but is consistent across any rapidly growing company is things are constantly changing, usually for the better. If you can't deal with change this isn't the place for you.

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
