Pros

Many many many great people at the IC level and middle management. Good branding - they really are snakes. 🐍

Cons

As the title says there is no safety here. Since April of 2023 it has felt like psychological warfare. Executive leadership is doing everything they can to break you down, leaving you hopeless for the future and afraid for your job. A perfect example of this was announcing that there would be a 10% RIF the following week on the Friday before Memorial Day. They have decimated the benefits. The new CEO, who executed a coup and took over, is a sociopath who only values how rich he can make himself. He frequently remarks about firing people and often times does. On top of that, he really has no idea what he’s doing. He’s got his head so far up his McKinsey background, he can’t see he’s got the plane in a nosedive. Or maybe he knows and it’s intentional. Either way, I don’t see how this ends well.

Pros

- annual company offsites (last 2 have been in Denver and Lisbon) - remote first and flexible work - hard working and easy to get along with most employees - engaged leadership team and board of directors - company is willing to invest in employees through education stipend - unlimited PTO policy - good benefits (I really don't understand why there are so many reviews knocking the lack of 401k match or the fact that bonus are partially tied to company revenue goals. These are very normal things, especially for startups) - prioritizes work life balance - management has put a lot of effort into improving transparency with monthly all hands, weekly all company demos and companywide newsletters

Cons

- There's plenty of reviews from > 1 year ago that talk about leadership issues and churn. This is no longer the case as the entire C-suite churned over a year ago and we have some solid leaders in place now. We are still dealing with some fallout particularly with trust from our customers related to decisions that were made by past leaders so we have a bit of an uphill battle to fight right now in terms of renewals. - this is not a company for coasting, leadership is engaged and takes action when individuals are not performing to expectation. If you are a high performer I think this is actually a pro. - comp and benefits is good for the size of company however you will make quite a bit more at FAANG companies - sometimes we get stuck doing process for the sake of process rather than for the outcome - growing pains - some shared services teams have not been scaled up to support the growing needs of the company which creates bottlenecks and extra stress for people on those teams
