Clearly struggling

Pros

Nice pay and benefits, good overall work life balance.

Cons

The product and leadership team are all over the place. This means that whenever a new contract negotiation or renewal approaches, the teams are rushed into delivering whatever is needed for that given contract to be signed. This creates and delivers a product that offers a bunch on inconsistent , disconnected and convoluted set of features. During my tenure at least 20 people where fired and 5 left (that I was aware of )

Uncertain future

Pros

Most people are genuinely nice and the pay is okay.

Cons

Leadership is really bad. Instead of improving the product and investing in current paying customers and improving their experience, leadership chooses to build out new products to drive sales. This results in a lot of customer churn and lagging sales due to incomplete products getting rushed. This obviously results in low morale and a need to cut costs. When it comes to cutting costs, instead of turning off some wildly expensive rarely used feature, they choose to fire people. This further decreases morale. The result of these poor decisions is a diminished workforce with terrible morale and a lot of customer churn.

Pros

The remainder of engineering team is still quite strong.

Cons

Simon lost about 40% of engineers over the last 10 months. Combination of below market pay (series D did not materialize) and increasingly toxic engineering management. The management culture on the engineering team has gotten steadily worse over the last year. Encountered situations where managers claimed credits for projects they haven't contributed to and bad mouthed former employees on reference checks. Did not use to be like this.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We agree-- we have a very capable, growing, and strong engineering team. We are constantly reviewing market rates and, at key points of our promo/comp cycles throughout the year, we are and have adjusted compensation for those who qualify. We have not raised Series D yet, so this is false information.
