Pros

This company is great to work for. As a seasoned sales professional I can tell you this is where you want to be. Yes, there are all the perks associated with a “start up” tech company, i.e free drinks/food. However, that should not determine anyone’s evaluation of a great place to work, although those things are certainly a plus. This is a highly innovative company that is staying ahead of the times. The CEO is probably one of the most down to earth executives you will ever meet. The NYC office has really great managers, Dave and Doug, who will go through great lengths to help you succeed. The expectations may be perceived as high, but they are truly realistic and not out of the norm, especially considering the return from the company. This is an amazing place to work with a very generous compensation plan, unheard of benefits, and many extra perks. It is a two way street, expectations are high, and the rewards are unlimited. For those who push to be successful, this company is the place.

Cons

No real cons. If there was one negative it would be lack of communication in some areas when it comes to change. However, this is being addressed and the company is very honest about its need to improve on this.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
