Pros

solid relationships between employees under the executive level, a cool product with utility in the enterprise space, fully remote work for most of the employees

Cons

Somehow this company has lost its way and maybe its soul. In the past 6 months we have undergone massive layoffs slashing from the C-Suite all the way down to brand new hires. Some employees were let go with just a couple of weeks pay (bonkers!). One employee was let go just before their wedding. Former employees continue to threaten legal action over promises made and not kept. I've never worked at an organization with problems like this. No trust. No leadership. There was a time when we were tops at what we do. Arrogance and mismanagement have changed everything. If you want to work here, ask a LOT of questions. Make sure you fully understand your contract and what you are being offered. Reach out and speak to employees to get the full picture. Eventually the company can turn itself around, but it's going to take a lot of time and a management overhaul. They will probably sell it for parts before that can happen.

Pros

I am very impressed with the innovative product team, sound leadership, and culture of autonomy to own and complete projects. The leadership is very accessible and engaged across functional groups-- great open-door policy. With their recent launch of SightCall VISION the growth potential and adoption of the Visual Assistance solution is very exciting! They have offices in Paris and Silicon Valley, both are very cool to visit ;) A big WIN for me was the sustainability impact the software has on global CO2 emissions. I think something like 1.7 million metric tons of CO2 is prevented from entering the atmosphere! All from helping humans solve problems remotely and preventing excess cars and trucks from driving around. You can feel good about the positive impact you are having on our planet while working at SightCall, which makes the work super rewarding for me. Removing waste from our planet one SightCall at a time.

Cons

The team as shrunk a bit to reorganize for strategic growth. There is a bit more of a start-up vibe at the company, and it can make the work-day less predictable (if that is something you are looking for). I like that there are more opportunities to engage in cross-functional projects if you are open to learning and getting your hands dirty.
