Pros

- The leadership here is really great. Easily the best team of people I have ever worked with in my professional life - Even though the company has been around for like 15 years, it feels like a start up. - The team is super supportive and really wants everyone to succeed. - The work/life balance is really strong, this is one of those salary jobs where they trust you to do your job and actually mean it. - The product itself is strong and that makes it easy to sell. - Career growth and development is something First Orion actually does and does well. They mean it when they say there's a promising career path for everyone here. - The people team is fantastic, some of the kindest souls I've ever worked with. - Compensation is usually strong, and they are very transparent about pay, raises, and how to get to where you want to be.

Cons

- There is a weird tension between two departments on the sales team that doesn't seem to be getting better. - First Orion is in the process of seeking out some investment funding so it makes the next 6-12 months look a bit gray but their goal is for it to not impact us, and I do genuinely believe this when they say that. I'm optimistic for the future, but this will not be definitive until the funding cycle is complete. - A lot of the staff is remote or hybrid so it can cause issues when there's something urgent and they won't reply - Some roles pay notably below market averages but this isn't a widespread problem

Pros

FO is definitely a “people first” company. I absolutely love the atmosphere, and couldn’t see myself anywhere else but here.

Cons

Nothing to add here. Love it!

Pros

Incredibly talented people across the company. Great opportunities for learning and growth. Flexible workplace and great culture with a "people first" focus! Appreciate the weekly company meetings with updates/transparency on what's happening across the company!

Cons

Being a tech company, we have to move fast. Not a "con" unless someone doesn't like change.
