Pros

None anymore, good people either have left or been let go. If you got lucky and sold your stock during it's the peak in 2021, congratulations. Check out the public insider activity and remember these are the same people who decided to gut the health insurance and cut headcount.

Cons

Moody CEO yells, drinks, and cries in meetings, publicly embarrasses his own Sales org, and perpetuates a culture where the entire executive and management team points blame at others (including each other) for company shortfalls. Mass PIP's are being used to reduce headcount while CEO constantly bragged about not doing layoffs during the pandemic. The air is thick with anxiety, wondering who will disappear next.

Pros

Exceptionally talented team. Every IC I worked with brought deep technical skills, genuine passion, and a collaborative, empathetic approach. Compensation and equity are strong.

Cons

Senior leadership lacks a clear vision, direction shifts constantly without concrete goals. Internal competition is actively encouraged by management, which creates a toxic dynamic. No 401k match. Raises and promotions are difficult to come by once you're in, and leadership feels largely out of touch with the realities on the ground.
