Pros

You are taked to work on projects that are entirely different in both the product and codebase. One day it could be a wordpress prjoect whereas another day it could be a jacked up MVC to another day with an okay MVC.

Cons

This company is a conglomerate of online companies that It buyes. You have to work on so many different codebases all the types from all the different acquisitions. Their internal codebase is very bad and they prefer you to add hacks to hacks instead of spending 5 more minutes in making it proper. Depending on which department you end up in, you could have either an 8-5 or a 7a-9pm. Due to the numerous projects that have everyone working on, their is duplicated code that is developed between departments. In some departments, developers are manged not by a development manager but by a product manager and in other departments they are managed by non engineers but buy hackers.

Pros

The company can offer strong earning potential and a large enough operation to create real opportunities for sales reps who are in the right segment with the right support at the right time. There are talented people across the organization and certain teams can be collaborative and knowledgeable. The business also has legitimate demand in the home services space, and there is value in the products when the fit is right. For someone who performs well in a fast paced, metric driven environment, there is room to make good money and gain solid experience.

Cons

The culture can feel highly numbers driven in a way that sometimes prioritizes activity volume over strategic selling and long term fit. Management quality varies significantly, and communication around expectations, compensation, and deal flexibility can be inconsistent. In some cases, sales reps may feel pressured to push opportunities that are not ideal fits, which can create frustration and hurt long term client success. There also seems to be limited alignment between leadership, sales, and support teams at times, which can make it harder to execute effectively and build confidence in the process.
