Pros

- Remote work - Entry-level benefits - Remote week - shack up with co-workers! - Delusion can be fun

Cons

So, here's the deal: They don't offer a 401k plan. The CEO is super stingy. They have this thing called "Remote Week" where you have to travel and bunk up with coworkers, but they don’t even give you breakfast. The whole company vibe feels fake. Don’t even think about getting your money back for stuff you buy for work. The bosses are all about this coaching thing, but it’s funny because they've never been in our shoes. At first, this place was all over the place with a newbie CEO who’s never worked anywhere else. They did find a good product, but everything was a mess. Then they got this sales boss who really fixed things up, but he left out of nowhere, and the CEO took over the sales team. Since then, things have gone downhill. Sales is all scared and unsure because they keep changing how we get paid. Every time you start doing well, they change the rules – classic move because the CEO doesn’t want to pay up. The remaining sales bosses are just yes-men to the CEO. They’d rather save money than help us sell. The operations team? Don’t get me started. They don’t like us and hardly approve any deals. They're treated like royalty, though, acting like they're in some high school clique. I can’t speak much for the engineering team since we don’t deal with them much. But I can say the product isn't anything special, yet some people here think it’s the next big thing. Honestly, if you’re in engineering or operations, it might not be the worst place. But if you're thinking about joining the sales side, watch out. The CEO’s extreme penny-pinching and know-it-all attitude have made the sales environment toxic. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.

Pros

- Compensation range is solid, and backed by industry data. They will pay for the right background match - Candidates for new roles are well-screened and the team is high-quality - High agency to get things done - Executives try to foster a good working environment - Culture of work-life balance (as long as you put in your 40-45h/wk) - Company is currently break-even and has not spent much if any of the Series B runway - Director of Engineering has grown into his management role while retaining high technical competency - Even including the sales team, there has not been a lot of headcount turnover here across the lifetime of the company

Cons

- No 401k matching - Executive leadership is still developing their skills (though they have clearly improved since prior Glassdoor reviews) - Like many startups, there is always much flux (team is growing rapidly, product direction-changes in response to new customer types, etc.)
