Pros

They move fast Prob will IPO or get bought (that's the goal of CEO so he can move on)

Cons

DO NOT ACCEPT A ROLE THERE - read the reviews, they are the truth, any super positive hard to believe ones, are written by their HR department. Trust me, they will throw a ton of stock options in your contract that's hard to say no, but they will probably let you go, before you can even cash those in. Their new employee retention is the worst. - C-Suite not equipped to take a start up to a long lasting company - Product has so many bugs and features that don't work - CRO has a past (Grant McGrail - look it up) - that doesn't align with "company values" - Diversity and EQ programs are lackluster - only has an eq officer just to check box - They let go of anyone coming in to try to disrupt the status quo or challenge them to do something different that is better - Very tight "in" group - if you go against them you will be ousted - Sales only cares about butts in seats. More AEs, more quotas, more pipe - Their retention numbers for employees (especially new ones is horrendous) - CS org was ripped a part last year - nearly all leadership doesn't work there anymore, tbh, that wasn't even the problem org (Support, Product and Sales need a looking at) - They only care about their largest customers. Any small customers, don't care if they renew or not. Listen, I've been in the Enterprise software world for quite sometime, this place has a reputation - and it's not great. Could they be a product the revolutionizes the travel and spend industry yes - would I bet that they will reach that potential, NO.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
