Pros

While it lasted: - Amazing and super intelligent team members. - Unlimited PTO - Flexible Work

Cons

The CEO is an egomaniac who only has one vision : to completely burn down the amazing company created by the smart founders (who already left the sinking ship). Unnecessary and completely irrelevant acquisitions and equity dilutions totally ruined the company's laser-focused vision. Even the OG founder was almost on the verge of crying when she left the company. Also no regard for talent and their skills. We had 3 rounds of layoffs just this year alone with people fired left and right with no regards to their skills or contributions. Customers and potential job seekers stay away from this sinking ship.

Pros

Great coworkers, exciting tech at the time.

Cons

Private Equity ruins everything. Our reward after hitting the “best quarter ever” was to be told by our drug-addled CEO that we can’t “live in the past” and he berated members of the leadership team for not getting off to a stronger start that current quarter. Shortly thereafter a few of the top (competent) leaders left, (including the role that calculated our commissions), the CEO was fired, a clueless bootlicker was put in to replace him, and a round of layoffs took out 50% of Sales, all of whom were stiffed on their quarterly commission (which was roughly 1/2 of their overall compensation). A few months later management had the audacity to try to bring some salespeople back - all of whom laughed as they went on to work elsewhere.
