Pros

I am newer, but it's a great company to work for. Lots of autonomy, great benefits, great people to work for. Path to hit quota in year 1, quota reasonable.

Cons

Not a lot of leads from BDRs, but great product that does have some buzz in the marketplace.

Huge opportunity for long term growth in a massive market

Pros

- The company was fully remote before the pandemic, with years of experience managing itself in a distributed way - The handbook is a powerful home grown productivity tool - The product is the best in its class - Stock options are generously awarded and have high potential for life-changing wealth for those who have joined pre IPO

Cons

- As the company grows, being a-sync has become less possible for those who are not ICs and there are more synchronous meetings that are required to attend - Current People Ops (HR) leadership could be stronger and more visibly engaged - In order to make specialized hires, not every new employee upholds or is interested in learning the CREDIT values and this is creating tension and confusion - Having a great product allows the company to be lazy in Sales/Marketing practices at times, yet still hit most numbers - Ongoing conflict between the iterative startup approach and need for more mature operational excellence can make it difficult to set/follow/understand mid-range strategy and plans - Communication silos are becoming a bigger challenge as the company goes 2+ years without gathering together in person (due to the pandemic)

Pros

Flexibile hours as it is remote Management can vary at times but is not down your throat at every occassion Remote work prior to pandemic meant the organization was prepared

Cons

Constant changes as the company looks to IPO can be frustrating and forces you to adapt pretty frequently. Asynchronous communication can be aggravating at times as well
