Super flexible- completely remote (in the US at least), people are helpful and understanding. Unlimited PTO is actually real here once you're hitting targets- Benefits are decent(401K & HSA matches, work from home stipend initially). Good work-life balance (In Sales at least)
They have been pretty transparent with communications. "Diverse" compared to most tech companies out there (not in upper level management though). The product can be useful to small businesses.
The people here are great.
Cons
Not the company they used to be 5-10 years ago- most business owners associate it with cheapness and low margins. Pay could be better- its not very hard to hit targets but commissions haven't picked up post covid. As a result they have been doing a lot of experimenting with the product to bring back revenues. They've been automating a lot as well and scaling back on cost- hopefully they don't reduce headcount which they've been hinting at for the last six months (again they are transparent about all this which I appreciate). As a result of all the changes and innovations some things get swept under rug because Account management is bogged down.
New CEO is good and not afraid to talk to us often but a lot of times he uses language that doesn't really answer questions (high level rhetorical answers that don't address our concerns)
Also there is no upward mobility for now they froze promotions indefinitely.
