Pros

Not much at this point.

Cons

The decline the sales org has seen in the last year with the new leadership team is very disappointing. I use to love my job but as of recently it is a struggle to even get through the day. Upper management preaches about wanting a high performing sales culture yet does not nothing to drive the engagement of the team. All of the fun has been taken out of the sales org and all we get is feedback about how we aren’t hitting the unrealistic KPIs. Upper management seems very out of touch with reality. KPIs and sales targets are unrealistic and unobtainable with the current problems the business is facing with the market. There has been constant feedback from the sales team on what isn’t working yet there has been no progress on the issues. The entire sales process is broken and doesn’t set the Account Executive team up for success. One person can get credit for a sale and when that account cancels less than 6 months later a totally different rep takes the cancel. Then the same person who signed them up can get credit again if that dealers resigns up. Such a joke. The two sales team have very different goals which causes them to work against each other causing a divide between the two teams. There is no accountability for what is being sold. All of the people that made this place special are gone - whether that be via a layoff or resignation. I am very concerned about the state of this sales org and what it will look like in the coming months. I understand the need to perform and push a team but when the majority of your team isn’t hitting goals there may be a problem with your process or goals. At this point you are expecting reps to work solely for their base pay and have pretty much removed the commission part of pay.

Pros

Leadership is accessible and open to feedback, even during fast‑moving initiatives. Smart, supportive colleagues who genuinely care about the work and the customers. Strong commitment to cross‑team collaboration, especially between Marketing, Content, Product, and Insights

Cons

Prioritization can shift quickly, which sometimes creates rework or unclear direction. Resource constraints can slow down execution on larger initiatives. Some decisions feel reactive rather than planned, which affects long‑term execution.

Pros

- Strong Compensation Perks: Excellent benefits package, including solid RRSP matching and a competitive PTO policy. - Talented Colleagues: You will work alongside highly intelligent, capable engineers and a very supportive middle management team. - Base Culture: When left to operate remotely, the day-to-day team culture is genuinely great.

Cons

- "False Remote" Expectations: Despite advertising a remote culture, there is heavy, unspoken pressure to be in the office. This is especially frustrating and illogical when your direct reports and teams are based in other countries, meaning you commute just to sit on video calls. - Imbalanced Executive Leadership: Product and Engineering both roll up to a single leader whose background is primarily in sales. This creates a systemic imbalance where product feature delivery is consistently prioritized over engineering health, technical debt reduction, and architectural stability. - Engineering Bottlenecks: Because of the leadership focus, the tech stack suffers. The codebase is deeply coupled and shared across multiple teams, creating a monolithic structure. Because releases are complicated and heavily reliant on manual QA work rather than automated testing, the organization is bottlenecked to only two scheduled releases per week.
