Pros

As a start up there will be a lot of quick changes but there always room to add your input and comment on how you think things should be. The culture is fun, energetic, caring, and hard working. Everyone pretty much takes accountability for their area of work and does a great job to intentionally help one another. At this point leadership is very much in the trenches and looking for input and suggestions from the team as they continue to scale.

Cons

Its a start up, so there are many changes that have to happen pretty fast. In the midst of the shuffle there have been many times where processes were not communicated well and the front liners were left in the dark. It is very busy all the time and a lot of people are coming and going from the front lines and at the top all for many different reasons, but the continued theme is the up and down of start up culture with constant changes.

Pros

Some smart, ambitious people who you can learn a lot from.

Cons

This place is an unstable, toxic mess, and leadership is largely to blame. The C-suite is full of egos and seems to make goals and quotas up out of thin air, then cleans up the fallout from poor planning and overhiring with layoffs. There have been three company-wide mass layoffs in less than four years, and that doesn’t even include the many layoffs that have happened quietly behind closed doors. The toxicity at the top trickles down through the entire organization. VPs put pressure on middle management, who then pass that pressure on to ICs. The company can’t seem to keep leaders in place for more than six months, which creates constant chaos and confusion. Strategies are always changing, priorities shift every few months, and nothing ever sticks long enough to make a real impact. Promotions seem to be based more on politics, favoritism, and who can make the most noise than on actual performance. The same people get promoted year after year, and many of them seem underqualified for the titles they hold. If you’re good at self-promotion and have the right relationships, you’ll probably do fine. If you’re quietly doing great work, don’t expect the same recognition. HR keeps saying they’re working on improving the promotion process, but I haven’t seen much change. If you’re considering joining the GTM org (especially the operational side) I would think twice. The new leadership loves to talk about transformation, improvements, and exciting changes, but there’s usually very little follow through behind the messaging.
