Pros

Talented individual contributors who genuinely tried to do the right thing despite poor leadership and constant change.

Cons

Unfortunately, this was the most dysfunctional and unethical organization I’ve worked for. In 2025 alone, the company changed compensation plans four times. In August, leadership retroactively eliminated earned commissions, including commissions on deals that were already closed and won. In simple terms: work was completed, revenue was booked, and commissions that employees had already earned were wiped out. On top of that, commission payouts were changed from monthly to quarterly, significantly delaying compensation. When many employees hit their targets later in the year, the company began layoffs instead of paying commissions, and those commissions were never paid. This created an environment of extreme instability, broken trust, and constant anxiety. Compensation rules changed without transparency, accountability, or regard for the impact on employees’ livelihoods.

Pros

- Pockets of dedicated and competent people that have kept the ship afloat throughout the organization - Unlimited PTO & Hybrid Work w/ flexibility (depending on your team/manager)

Cons

- Over the 3+ years I was here I went through many ups and downs but the trend is clearly deteriorating. - Changes in leadership aren't the problem - each round of new leaders do not take time to understand the business and make the same mistakes as the last round before meeting the same results. Most recent batch of executives refuse to be educated and have created hostile & combative environment. - "Strategy" is on a collision course for failure and the company is running out of runway, which will result in a fire-sale. Company is being gutted likely to be sold for parts in a merger/acquisition that new hires won't be a part of. - Culturally averse to new ideas and making things better. R&D has positioned itself as the saviors of the company for years, consuming all resources, with little to nothing to show for it. Tech leadership is attempting the same approach that failed over the last two years, which does nothing to address the problems at their roots. - Unstable work environment with frequent large layoffs and shifting priorities. Deep expertise and pillars that have kept the business on a plateau are leaving or being dismissed.

Thank you for this and for your service over the time you were here. Embedded in your review is that people are at the core of what makes or has made this company great. I am very sorry that some of the recent changes impacted you and others here. Our creation of the PX team is in no way lip services to morale and the new addition of 3 extremely good Operations/HRx leaders to the PX will hopefully prove that. We want to be a best place to work, and from our polls, we are for the people that have just arrived. Now our work is to make the people that got us here happy with the changes, the new structure and the future. I'm hopeful we can do that in coming months.

Pros

I only stayed as long as I did because of the people, and holding out hope (for far too long) of an IPO that's likely to never happen. My teammates and peers were some of the best people I've ever worked with.

Cons

There's so much to be said but like many others have already said: 1. Executive Turnover made any sort of coherent business strategy impossible. And when things didn't work because we get a brand new C suite every 9 months blame was placed on employees and a new round of layoffs happened. 2. Marketing leadership specifically took a bad turn for the worse starting in Jun 2024. Management style was fear-vased, condescending, and with no regard for any sort of collaboration. 3. You cant grow revenue without investing in brand awareness. If you pull back marketing budget by over 50% don't be surprised when other competitors soar past you. You have no more leadership in this industry and being the leader in 2019 doesn't mean anyone knows who you are now. 4. Forcing employees back into the office after touting remote-first for years is extremely hypocritical
