Pros
- Sticky product, good market response, reasonable growth rate for a company @ this stage - Committed teams, working hard to see the company deliver - Striving to sell the vision in order to attract top talent
Cons
- Inconsistent, ever changing priorities - The CEO is young, smart, yet unexperienced. The company hired several senior department heads lacking drive, confidence, essentially acting as yes-men - Unrealistic expectations, management expects you to make wonders happen without resources to reasonably deliver - Constant pressure on teams and no respect for work/life balance - Top performers are crushed and many are actively looking for better opportunities outside of Talkdesk

Pros
Talkdesk is always hiring, tenure at a position is probably about 6 months, so if your dream job -- in sales, marketing, engineering, customer success-- is already taken as of now, check back in 3-6 months and you'll find an open req. for that exact job.. ;-)
Cons
Very high turnover. they will hire very cheap, even from out of town. I know some people who uprooted their entire family to San Francisco with a promise of a great career...these people sold their house, had their kids change schools etc., and 6-9 months later they were pushed out. they pay you very cheap (below market rate), manage you by fear, make you overwork, and spit you out before even your year anniversary (so don't think you'll exercise these options). No leadership skills from the management team. unless you're really desperate, I would not advise anyone to take a job there. They bullied the female co-founder who built the product and made this company possible out. That should tell you everything you need to know about this company.
