Pros

-Really great product -Amazing colleagues -Good TAM with market fit -WFH benefits -Will fly you to conferences, such as Vegas etc.

Cons

Where to begin.... -No diversity, all white men worked here. 1 female in the sales department -Leadership here is a mess. ZERO company communication. People would leave and there was no communication internally about it. -Leadership just treated employees like trash. Like we are totally disposable -Training/Onboarding was less than a week. Then you are yelled at for not booking meetings etc because you aren't implementing XYZ or know XYZ about the product. -Stress on Personalization but not training on "how to personalize" -Product is VERY dense. There is a very long curve to learn. With a poor onboarding process and lack of coaching - it makes selling quite difficult -Leadership will fire people indiscriminately with no remorse or help to find a new job. They fired an employee who was on vacation... -The CEO and Co-founder are totally aloof. Fantastic people I am sure, but they let managers run rampant on employees. -Wrote an email to the CEO about poor treatment by my boss and heard nothing. -Minimal pipeline to build. I felt bad for the AE's here. Sellers here work 3-7 deals that seem to take forever to close. Those guys won't see a commission check for several months. Same with the BDRs -No benefits. No 401k. No health benefits, no lunch benefits.

Pros

- Recently completed Series B round of financing so the company brags about having lots of money to throw around. - Some very smart people trying to figure out how to create a functional company - Positioned in fast-growing market with some good partners. - Fast implementation. - A few (very few) happy customers.

Cons

- Founder/CEO is an egotist who used family money to start company after never really having a job prior to starting the company. - Few employees are being paid what was promised. - Revenue and growth are far below targets and expectations. - High employee turnover. Internal confusion and politics. - Most of the employees were based in Ukraine and paid peanuts. The war has turned the company on its head. - No diversity. Boys club. - Even for a startup benefits were poor. Nobody takes time off without being tied to a computer.
