Pros
The EPD team is incredibly talented. They're smart, hardworking, and deliver at a very fast pace. But the product is still not ready for true enterprise use, which makes it even harder for go-to-market teams to succeed.
Cons
My time at Common Room was unfortunately marked by an extremely toxic work culture. If you're considering a role in Sales or Customer Success, I strongly advise you to think twice. The CEO regularly berates team members, creating an environment of fear and instability. Job security is a constant question mark, and threats of termination are used as a management tactic. Micromanagement is the norm — you're not empowered to do your job, you're told exactly how to do it under pressure. Everything is treated like a fire drill. There's zero planning or stability. You’ll be pinged at all hours of the night and expected to respond immediately — boundaries are not respected. People are burnt out and leaving constantly, particularly in Sales, which has seen a revolving door of talent. Common Room might be a good fit for someone in engineering who thrives in chaos, but for Sales and CS — it's not worth your health or sanity.
