Pros

Worst mistake of my life, won't recommend joining ContactOut to anyone

Cons

- Fake culture - Insecure, short-sighted & toxic leadership - Politics & partiality - Irresponsible management They have a pretty good culture doc with words like "autonomy", "freedom to experiment", and "psychological safety" - but the reality is completely opposite. They basically need ROBOTS that follow what's being told blindly, else you'll be called "forceful" and "unfit" for the company. Some so-called team leads become insecure when questioned objectively. If they run out of reasons- they'll just say you're overqualified for the job and fire you. How is having a wider skill stack & deeper expertise a blocker for the current role? It's not. People-pleasing leaders who are insecure, play politics, & who can't take responsibility are not actually leaders, they are CLOWNS. Save your mental peace & life, DO NOT join ContactOut!

Not many cons - maybe try and understand the local markets you are hiring in when it comes to competitive wages and benefits.
