Pros

Decent benefits, fully remote workplace

Cons

Things have definitely shifted for the worse the last few years, high overload of work, constant micromanagement, managers must fight tooth and nail to rate high performing personnel as high performing. Engineering leadership strongly influenced by Products leadership. Little to no work life balance.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pros

The pay is decent compared to the market and the tech is solid.

Cons

The company is abandoning their strategy of "partner first" and is doing their best to become a worse version of Paychex/ADP... Every decision that comes from the top seems so disconnected with reality. Turnover is a huge problem. In just 12 months I've had turnover in my director, channel partner managers, channel support, partner services, RVP, SDR, and more. It's impossible to get anything done when every position around you is a revolving door. Everyone I speak with across lines of business has a similar story. It is a mess across the entire org.
