Pros

If you want to gain a knowledge of how NOT to run a company, than this is the place to look.

Cons

Incompetence from the top down. This company started out small and got way too fast. They treat their employees like garbage and have an extremely high turnover rate. Their customers hate them and their employees burn out quickly.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
