Pros

The product is industry leading, with a fantastic culture that focuses on building great teams, in a huge market that is just moving to the cloud. We are #1 in Subscription Revenue Management and Revenue Management, and one of the top leaders in Subscription Billing, according to G2.com. This is critically important because this is where the puck is going in the market, and this is based upon customer feedback, which shows product/market fit.

Cons

Too much work to jump on the opportunity, need more fantastic people to be able to execute. As in all growth markets, there are gaps that need to get jumped on, such as new customer use cases that emerge as the market matures. We need to be able to identify them, design the product for them, build a great implementation plan for them, and then support them, this is where having more folks that want to be part of the A team are so important.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
