Pros

Clear strategy, the entire company focused on a single goal, and an insane opportunity to change the entire Customer Service industry. We are really well-positioned to build the top AI-first support product—a genuine opportunity to be a breakout technology product of the GPT era. Culture is a mix of nice people who are ambitious and serious about building a great product and company. Standards are high. Everyone is aligned and focused. The energy in the company right now (May 23) is *high*.

Cons

Change management in recent months with the CEO change, which other reviews allude to. It did indeed cause a bunch of internal strife for people who were not on board with changing into a more focused company. But ask anyone here today: it is well and truly over now, there is genuinely minimal drama, and we're delivering. We are smack bang in the middle of a giant AI opportunity, which means that our product strategy is evolving fast which sometimes requires rapid replanning.

Pros

You'll learn a lot, do a lot, and you'll gain skills that are above your level. Stay here long enough and you'll probably end up more senior than you realize elsewhere.

Cons

Hiring went downhill particularly in marketing at the start of 2022. Random leaders and ICs were brought on and many of us were confused by what they were supposed to be doing. I'm talking from associate to VP level, why are you here? They seem to relish in being top heavy? There are so many people giving out orders and not really enough doers. And many of the leaders hired in marketing in 2022 did not seem up to par. Just seemed like a rush to get more VPs in? That was my experience. Tons of leaders, not enough doers, resulting in too much work, miscommunications, and more. Tack on Eoghan ruining our culture by stepping back into the CEO role as well. That guy is not inspiring at all. Listening to him speak... I don't feel I'm listening to a CEO. Doesn't make you want to work for him. Very happy that I left and would not recommend. cheers
