Pros

The product market fit is incredible. Benefits are great. The view is amazing.

Cons

The new compensation structure is confusing, and the new go to market processes add useless complexity.

Pros

Getting to stay remote - for now

Cons

They laid off or will lay off dozens of people after this “restructure” is done. Yet notice they haven’t addressed it on here nor have they addressed it to the employees. They even didn’t tell customers and just cancelled meetings Anyone staying is taking a pay decrease. They keep stating that the bonus game and comp will offset it. However, we broke sales records and got one of our lowest bonuses ever. Forced RTO for employees. The mileage range will increase I’m sure. Out of touch CEO. Morning meetings that are just there to let execs ramble, I have not gained any knowledge from them.

We believe in open communication and are committed to supporting our employees through this transition.

Our recent pay structure changes were implemented to align with industry standards and ensure fairness across the board. Stu remains transparent, making all information accessible to employees. It's important to clarify that any base pay reductions were solely due to position changes, not a deliberate lowering of pay for the same job description. As part of our business restructuring, some roles had to be adjusted to align with our new business plan, and individuals were offered new positions accordingly. Feel free to reach out to People Operations if you would like to discuss this further.
