Pros

The people are the best part of FiscalNote, very smart and fun to work with. The tool is best in class and gets great response from perspective clients.

Cons

Extremely misleading in the hiring process, which starts and is reinforced by Tim the CEO. They will ask the world of you, which leads to zero work life balance with out any return. Employees are very frustrated which has lead to a very bad vibe in the office. Business Development is sales and it is extremely aggressive sales on top of that. The company boast culture, but unless your culture is exactly that of Tim's you are out of luck. They use the term "culture" more as something to hang over your head if you have different ideals. If things are going to turn around for FiscalNote the CEO is going to have to start letting the actual senior management (who has actual work experience) make the calls they need to and hire the right people. I would strongly not recommend working here.

Pros

There are still many talented and hardworking employees there.

Cons

Constant restructuring, layoffs, and uncertainty. Pride themselves on objective unbiased reporting, yet now they want to enter into prediction markets. 25% layoff right before Q1 ended. Leadership executed a reverse stock split that heavily eroded shareholder value, only for the stock to continue falling and the company to be delisted from the NYSE shortly thereafter.
