Pros

- Fun to get exposed to the entire engineering + business stack. A typical week involves networking, dev-ops, archiecture design + development, interviewing, hopping on customer calls, working across product/sales/customer success, etc. - Experienced founders who are clear on our product's value and focused on building something real - It's fun being in a company that's growing so fast. Excited to see where we go - Feel supported to own + contribute to projects (lots of opportunities around building new projects + scaling existing ones) - Never alone if issues arise because the team does a great job jumping in to support

Cons

- Benefits could be better - Typical startup challenges of context-switching short vs long term tasks

Pros

-The CSM team at Sense includes some of the brightest, most talented individuals I've ever had the pleasure of working with

Cons

-Leadership has very little understanding of what existing clients require. When clients threaten to churn they offer the latest new product but offer minimal support, leading to even worse experiences for the client and inevitable churn -Bonuses are not achievable as they are based on company performance not individual performance -No raises provided for multiple years in a row -PTO is not unlimited as advertised, and leadership actively guilt's you not to use it -The product is different for EVERY client, regardless of what ATS they use. Two clients on the same ATS can have vastly different data fields, and with regular book of business changes it can be difficult to understand how to help your client -Sales Reps overpromise potential clients features that do not exist, leadership then blames CS for not being able to accomplish what sales fabricated -Everyone's plate is too full. With layoffs after layoffs and no attempt to rebuild the workforce, everyone is burning out, and theres no end in sight.
