Pros

The company has a great culture, and people are so open to help and assist. This forms a significant portion of my decision to stay with the company longer despite charming opportunities.

Cons

The promotion process is not that great; you often lack a clear idea of what exactly makes you promotable or put in all the work to give management a reason for promotion. There are also growing pains as the company scales which often comes up as redundant/reverting work or frequent changing of goals.

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

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

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.
