Pros

Great leaders that are actually approachable and act like human beings, fun problems to solve, strong investors, surrounded by some of the brightest and most talented individuals I have ever worked with here. The product is the best in the industry, and we are growing like crazy. Starting to feel like we are very well staffed as well with enough people to do the job. Competitive pay, and stock that looks like it has a good shot to go somewhere. Good benefits. I love this place.

Cons

There really aren't a ton at this point. Used to feel like my team was understaffed to do the job but this is no longer an issue. You definitely need to be willing to put in the hours here but it is nothing unreasonable. I'd still say not a good place for those that just want to rest and vest. The one place on the benefits side I think could use some improvement is a better 401k match, we at least have some sort of match at the moment. We still have room to improve the product itself in the upmarket and enterprise space, but we have made the investment here and we will be best in class there very soon!

Pros

Great salary, I work on a team that has excellent balance. I get recognized when I do good work.

Cons

Company has a big focus on AI, but not sure we’re all marching in the same direction and often doesn’t feel like a good use of resources.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, decent work life balance

Cons

This place is incredibly dysfunctional. Every day feels draining. Toxic and rude coworkers, immature leadership, incompetent and ineffective management, inefficient processes... it's nearly impossible to get anything done without multiple layers of review and endless rounds of revisions. The bureaucracy is exhausting. Decisions are made in siloes and often walked back because they weren’t thought through properly to begin with. Information is shared selectively and you will often learn of things “through the grapevine”. Priorities, goals, metrics are nowhere to be found. There's little sense of culture and very little to no focus on employee experience, DEI, or anything beyond the bottom line. Many people come across as disengaged, transactional, and self-interested. Development opportunities are limited, and career and compensation growth are slow even for strong performers. Office politics are prevalent, employee concerns are rarely acted on, and meaningful feedback is rarely given or asked for. There is an overwhelming focus on AI, often without consideration of resource usage, output quality, or security implications, which is surprising given the industry. Usage is duplicative, disconnected, and directionless. I've honestly never felt less connected to my work. At some point, I found myself emotionally checking out just to preserve my own well-being.
