Pros

100% remote Great market with very few real competitors. Great co-workers

Cons

Untrustworthy and unethical senior management Mid-level management is either 'yes men' to upper management, or are transferred/ demoted out of the role. The product is broken, and no one really seems to be fixing it. Toxic sales environment Sales leadership has publicly said that "There is no work-life balance in Sales" Almost 1/4 of the company (and 100% of the direct sales team) has resigned in the past few months. Commissions are stolen from sales team and when called on it, the CEO said 'sue me' There seems to be a bias toward 'young, white, male' employees, and no diversity in thought.

Pros

It's a fantastic small company with close knit relationships and people that genuinely care about each other.

Cons

As a small company, today's chaotic business climate is just plain scary, although they've weather it well so far.

Pros

There are some good benefits like summer Friday's and lifelong learning reimbursement. The people, outside of the senior leadership team, are some of the nicest and most genuine people I've interacted with at any company.

Cons

Senior leadership. They aren't looking out for their employees. The good benefits are lures for new employees, but once you're in the company they don't care about you. Transparency and openness are rewarded with cold shoulders from senior leadership and eventual layoffs if your thinking isn't in line with theirs. HR does not seem to be there to look out for the employees, they are there to look out for the senior leadership only. "Anonymous" reviews are requested, but rarely are anonymous with comments made by the CEO and COO repeatedly if they are given poor reviews.
