Pros

nice, modern office space; lots of natural light.

Cons

- Work culture did not promote enough diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The atmosphere gave off a fraternity/sorority feel. - This office location seems to be a more sales-oriented/focused working environment. Any other departments beyond that did not hold the same value. - Leadership/upper management was mediocre at best, non-existent at worst and severely lacked in engaging with employees. - Employees that carried seniority and a certain personality type were heavily favored and were given more value. - Products were OK; however, customers were consistently being deceived of pricing and any changes made to products or subscriptions were never communicated, resulting into massive cancellations and huge account losses. - No formal training in place, be it for on-boarding/new hires or a new billing system being implemented. Training is so foreign in this company. - Colleagues were only friendly to a caliber of their own, adolescents.

Pros

Consistently provide perks such as lunch, snacks. Product is rock solid - but average deal size is $ 7k...highly transactional. There's a tremendous amount of online/web training.

Cons

If you're a professional hire, they will micromanage you and treat you poorly. Management is almost adolescent in behavior. Upward mobility is limited. Recently went public and the CEO is learning how to communicate with Wall Street, so I don't expect the stock to climb as everyone hopes.
