Pros

Fast growing company and the technology is solid. Seems we are widely respected in the marketplace and there are a growing number of uses cases and proof points, we seem to be gaining major traction

Cons

The culture is pretty bad, overall a negative place to work, maybe it is just my team, i don't know. Major pressure on short term results vs long term planning (at least on the sales side of things), hire and fire kind of culture.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)

Pros

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
