Pros

Really solid people across teams,smart, collaborative, and generally good to work with day to day.

Cons

Pay is below market and doesn’t keep up with inflation. Bonuses are routinely late (currently about 2 months behind) with zero transparency on when or if they’ll land. Leadership communication is basically nonexistent unless something’s already gone wrong, so most people are left guessing. Merit increases are weak to the point of being meaningless. There’s a lot of talk about “doing better” and “investing in people,” but in reality it’s more work, fewer people, and layoffs. Development leadership in particular feels pretty tone deaf. Expectations are consistently unrealistic, priorities shift without context, and there’s little awareness of what teams can actually deliver. It doesn’t feel like employees are the priority, decisions are clearly driven by the bottom line, not the people doing the work.

Pros

Good people, collaborative culture, and opportunities for advancement for those who take initiative. I've been able to expand my responsibilities and grow professionally. The work is interesting, and employees have the chance to contribute in meaningful ways.

Cons

As the company continues to grow, some processes are still evolving.

Pros

Enjoy working with some of the other SDRs

Cons

No communication from leadership. No one knows what’s going on or where the company is heading. Managers get fired with zero explanation, and their teams are left with no direction on what to do next. Leadership tends to operate through fear and intimidation rather than transparency. Strict 4 days in office with 9-hour workdays makes work-life balance tough. Morale is low and no one seems motivated. The company outsources as much work as possible to India. There are also concerns about the amount of debt the company is carrying. About 15% of sales hit quote. They won’t tell you that. Tread lightly. Damon Tompkins (CEO) doesn’t even work in an office. He works out of the conference room so he can watch everyone. Gets pissed if you’re not there 9 hours a day. Has screamed at the SDRs multiple times for people not all being there.
