Amazing people, path for IPO results in compromising culture and product
Pros
The people: I had the pleasure of working with some incredible, smart people during my time at Salesloft, many of which are now friends. Flexibility: Depending on the department you're in, your schedule is quite flexible and you have full ownership over it so long as you're performing.
Cons
Product: Tons of bugs and critical customer requests that are not prioritized to make the product what it could be. No formal process for product feedback/roadmapping/ customer feedback gathering to make informed, effective product changes for the 20% of time typically allotted to work on high volume/ ARR customer requests. Lots of bells and whistles being built that most customers don't care about. Leadership: Lots of silos, lots of newbies at the exec level resulting in a ton of interdepartmental communication & process breakdowns and general inefficiency Pay: Pay is below market in just about every department and growth opportunities are super limited, benefits are no longer very competitive when comparing to other tech companies.
