Pros

Cool product conceptually Good location Great co-workers (while they're there)

Cons

Looks great from the outside in - once you're hired you quickly realize upper management is disorganized, don't take employees seriously, and care little about communication. We're talking basic communication. You'll be having nightmares and looking over your shoulder constantly - will I be the next person shown the door? It doesn't matter your tenure, if you make more than someone they hired on the cheap, you're out. Don't be fooled by the recent positive reviews - have a hunch that marketing saw the horrible comments about product and culture and scrambled to add a few positive reviews from upper managements personal friends who are current employees. CEO all over the place, it's obvious he's had no prior experience growing a company, which hurts both employees and customers alike. You may even be blatantly lied to about your performance and job security (if they even take the time to talk to you, period). Give it a year before considering working here, maybe they'll have figured it out by then..

Pros

-Amazing product that is fun to use and has the potential to seriously disrupt the market. The focus on ease of use, visual user experience, powerful integrations and well thought out features makes it unique compared to other marketing automation software out there. Autopilot is quickly on its way to becoming "the next big thing." -Growing very fast which means every single person on the team matters and has a huge opportunity to make an impact. Excellent chance for those early in their careers to work on a broad range of projects and help shape a rapidly growing startup. -Unlike many startups, the company knows what direction they are going and are transparent about it. Leadership is very results-oriented and sets clear goals, such that everyone knows their priorities and what they should be working on at any given time. After coming from the opposite spectrum, this is a breath of fresh air. -Fun, passionate and high energy team and leadership. The people are brilliant, yet humble - I learn something new every day. It's the kind of company that makes you want to do a good job and give 110%. The org. structure is flat so there is a chance to work closely with upper management on a daily basis. -Excellent perks. Let's get real - dogs, ping pong, free food, unlimited PTO, Aussies and beer on tap... what more could you ask for?

Cons

-It's start up life and the long hours are expected. There's a reasonable amount of "hustlin" and last minute "make it work" moments, but isn't that part of the fun?
