Cons

One challenge we face revolves around the transition towards becoming a product-led organization. While the goal is clear, the specifics have been somewhat difficult to understand and flesh out. It's important to acknowledge that this transition is complex, and the company is navigating uncharted territory. Despite the challenge, there's a positive aspect to this learning curve as it provides an opportunity for continuous improvement and adaptability. Navigating the shift to a product-led focus requires effective communication and a transparent roadmap. Providing a clearer vision for the future can help align teams and ensure everyone is working towards the same goals.

Pros

- The people are a delight to work with! - Fully remote-first company with owners and executives who have repeatedly committed to staying fully remote. There are a few regional offices that some execs and nearby employees work out of optionally, but the vast majority of the company works remotely. - The company culture has years of remote-first experience and does a great job keeping teams connected despite the distance. - Management offers a lot of flexibility in work schedules as long as they average around 40 hours a week. - There is a strong focus on helping employees learn and grow, with great support for career development within the company. - The company leans heavily on promoting internally, including into management roles. - Lateral moves are also supported at times, with some employees having started in one department and transitioned into a completely different role. - Unlimited PTO (typically around 3-4 weeks per year in practice). - HR and executives actively listen to and act on employee feedback. - The culture is team-win oriented and supportive, so there is noticeably less internal competition than you might find elsewhere. Pro and con: The company culture centers on continuous improvement, which means employees are generally expected to bring ownership and initiative to their work. If you prefer a more heads-down, clock-in-clock-out style of work, this may not be the right fit.

Cons

From my perspective, exec and middle management planning still has room for improvement. Last year, leadership struggled to plan more than a month ahead, with priorities shifting significantly from month to month. This year has shown improvement, with planning horizons extending to a quarter or half year and fewer drastic shifts, though notable shifts still occur at times.

Pros

Many of the employees were very nice.

Cons

The worst company culture I have ever seen. They micromanage everything including your time on the laptop with a spy software that they tell you is for productivity reasons when it really is to justify the jobs of the "genius" management teams. If you go walk your dog for 15 minutes you get pinged as not being productive. The management is ridiculous and they change on the fly. They preach corporate culture but it feels like the Gestapo is watching you at all times. In sales the bottom line is the bottom line, they are so busy worrying about the wrong metrics that they suffocate you. I was nervous taking a lunch break. It's insane. They want you to be logged in and active on your computer at least 7.5 hours per day which is crazy. In sales you have to make calls, do reports and proposals and sometimes you need to strategize. If you work in an office environment you are getting up to go tp the bathroom, talking to coworkers, maybe going outside for a smoke and I guarantee most people are not on their computer for 7.5 hours a day. I've never seen anything like this before in terms of the "big brother" monitoring. Stay as far away from them as possible if you want a decent quality of life.
