Pros

Exceptional people and culture - Talented, collaborative, passionate colleagues made this a truly special place to work (up until 2024-2025). Flexible work arrangements - Hybrid model with supportive PTO policies and genuine understanding when life happens. Work life balance was encouraged. Learning opportunities - Strong CS leadership provided mentorship and growth experiences that advanced my skill set significantly. Reasonable perks - Equipment choice, company recharge days, modest lunch allowance.

Cons

Product reliability nightmare - Half-baked releases with inadequate QA created an impossible situation where CSMs were expected to drive adoption of unstable features, causing constant escalations and deteriorating CX, endless damage control, operational chaos, plummeting CSat scores, spiking churn, and ultimately a significant loss of income for CSMs. Operational chaos - Inadequate knowledge transfer from implementation to post-launch, insufficient technical documentation, setting up support & CS teams for failure. Leadership instability and poor transparency - Constant executive turnover, mysterious layoffs with little or no communication about 'reorgs,' creating a culture of fear and uncertainty. Compensation regression - Upsell commission slashed 66%; churn forgiveness policy cancelled; variable comp restructured so heavily in company's favor that one lost customer took away 30% of the CSM's income. Career stagnation - Promotions dragged out for a year with no explanation; supportive managers fired for speaking out to advocate for their employees. Benefits deterioration - Mid-year change to a new health insurance carrier with downgraded coverage caused financial stress and gaps in care; no 401K matching.

Pros

Great management, lots of resources to ensure success in your role.

Cons

It can be difficult for cross-department collaboration with everyone being in different time zones.

Reputation Response

Thanks for the review! Cross-functional collaboration across time zones is a real challenge these days. We are hoping that the flexibility of our remote & hybrid environment and clarification of ‘core working hours’ will help support even greater collaboration across teams. If you need any help navigating through this, please work with your Manager or HR Business Partner.

Pros

*Benefits are a bit pricey, but you'll be well covered *Great coworkers *Lunch for in office workers.

Cons

*Constant layoffs. Even after leaving I'm still seeing a lot of former colleagues being let go. Great talent has been let go to cut costs. *Pay is much lower than industry average and it seems there is no budget to increase pay. *Platform has bugs and issues that were never resolved by engineering, leaving teams to develop work arounds and frustrating clients. *For bugs that are addressed, solutions take weeks to months to get fixed frustrating clients and resulting in churn. *Lack of direction and leadership. All teams are on their own path without clear direction. *No 401k match.
