Pros

• Smart, hardworking individual contributors who genuinely care about the company’s success • Flexible work environment, depending on team and manager • Exposure to complex challenges that can accelerate personal growth

Cons

• Sales organization repeatedly misses forecasts and loses market share with little accountability • Leadership delivers mixed messages: claiming “deep pockets” while enforcing ongoing cuts and layoffs • Product and software teams face constant shifting priorities and unrealistic deadlines • Leaders outside of technology lack SaaS experience, leading to poor strategic decisions • Duplicative roles and redundant functions waste resources and dilute accountability • Company direction often feels reactive rather than strategic

Pros

Amazing corporate culture Leadership listened to engineering on tools, technology stack, etc Actual product ownership, including necessary input and control (instead of being told you own a product and then not given the necessary access or tools to maintain it)

Cons

Hiring process involved psychological screening with a lot of implicit bias, almost like an IQ test. On the plus side, I've been told they discontinued its use after that was pointed out.

Pros

You have kind co-workers and good benefits.

Cons

The strategic direction is unclear for many parts of the business. There is not enough transparency around hiring decisions - including who is still with the company and where there are opportunities for growth.
