Pros

Great people - the people who survived the Covid - 19 crisis are the type of people you'd go to war with. The company is always presented with new challenges and are able to adapt and overcome.

Cons

It's a lot of work, which bleeds into the work/ life balance. I haven't really taken much time off, but have been approached by my leader to plan some PTO soon.

Pros

You'll get a lot of owner, be able to influence the company culture and processes

Cons

Life balance can be tricky, but we're all working hard for the same goal and teammates have each others' backs

Thanks for sharing your review. We agree, that the work-life balance can be tricky especially in a work from home environment that can bleed into one's personal life. We continue to look for ways to improve this as build a strong remote culture. Obviously, we welcome continued guidance and suggestions in this arena. Thanks again!

Pros

There were some good people working there and you can make good connections

Cons

There is no structure at all in the company. No one knows the answer to your questions or concerns or you have to go through 2-3 people to get things done. Market pricing was inaccurate and breaking into new markets happened too quickly. There's not enough data in the system to execute everything that was happening. Management was always focusing on hiring new people but didn't invest in the current workers. Favoritism was extremely apparent to certain AE's and they received the best leads or gifted commission due to sucking up to upper leadership. I never felt supported and or comfortable speaking on what I needed it was a really difficult time for me. If you were to take any time off because we had unlimited PTO you were frowned upon for using it. Extremely toxic culture and Sales team needs a lot of work.

Hi! Thank you the feedback and I'm sorry you did not get the structure you were looking for in a company. As you mentioned, you joined while we were expanding rapidly, and constant change and evolving processes were a part of that growth. We've taken your feedback seriously and post-COVID has been focusing on sustainable company growth. Thanks again and wish you well.
