Pros

This company provides a great service in the bookkeeping industry, using artificial intelligence and machine learning to streamline bookkeeping tasks. - The interview process was thorough, but not overly extensive. - Great opportunities for remote employees. - Salary in line with the role, responsibilities, and level of experience. - Solid benefits and unlimited PTO

Cons

- At times, management seemed disorganized. - Authority is given to management based on seniority, not experience or level of knowledge. - Lack of direction, specifically within the marketing department. During my tenure at Botkeeper, management was chaotic and lacked leadership. Company insight or direction desired by executives was never clearly passed along by management and it was often expected that a new hire should "just know". Management often seemed lost and overwhelmed and offered very little direction or insight; making the job very difficult to succeed in. Too often was management quick to brush off communication and opportunities to mentor because of being "busy" or obvious lack of knowledge.
