Pros

Not very hard work Work life balance

Cons

No strategy Disjointed sales, marketing, channel motion A lot of talk, a lot of running in circles, no real interest in fixing broken processes and strategy The reviews are fake, this company continues to lay off people after being acquired and misalignment is worst than ever...still went from 3 to 3.6 stars in glassdoor. Internal comms team and HR write fake reviews

Pros

The people who work there are generally welcoming and friendly.

Cons

They tout their values, but don't practice them consistently or sometimes at all. There was definite favoritism.

Pros

Hybrid Collaborative Mentorship Meaningful Impact

Cons

I have had an overwhelmingly great experience thus far! Would be nice if there were more employee events on site to meet coworkers outside of your team.
