Pros

Great company for getting experience and meeting people who want to be successful and grow.

Cons

Leadership all around is a mess. This is what happens when you take out the old and bring in the new. They all have bright “ideas” and usually get their way without even talking to the frontline workers, get feedback etc. The changes they made to Customer Success was horrendous and our customers do not like it. This is a public company, they only care about pleasing the shareholders. Annel leaving worst thing to happen to the company.. going downhill rapidly.

Pros

It’s still tech, benefits are great. If you are from a tech sales background and you live for SKO bull you’ll probably be happy.

Cons

Focus moving from anything truly interesting or innovative on the product or ops side, emphasis entirely on GTM motions and market penetration. If you aren’t homogenous tech sales dude bro, the environment is becoming hostile. Folks with experience are leaving or being let go and competency is being replaced with butt kissing and standing relationships. No interest in actual programatic improvement, hard conversations or reality checks that could make a senior leader uncomfortable. Product knowledge no longer valued cross functionally.
