Pros

Any pros have been ruined by the new absolute moron of a CEO, but it is nice being remote at least

Cons

No transparency at all. The CEO told us all year that we're doing great and then laid off 30+% of the company so he could rehire for all those positions with cheap offshore labor. Those that weren't laid off immediately have to stick around and train these new cheap workers on the other side of the planet. Really not even sure what the CEO did was legal, but I'm leaving soon and don't care enough about that clown to look into it. Even the people that weren't laid off are planning to leave. This place is going to be dead and buried shortly under this muppet CEO

Pros

CS org combined with Renewals some time ago. Since then, the Customer Success leadership has put the team in a great position to succeed. Providing solid tools and direction, using metric-based approaches and not aimless goals (like having to hit a generic 'calls made' goal)

Cons

Upward movement career-wise can be a challenge

Pros

The company has talented employees and some strong legacy teams. There are opportunities to learn quickly, especially in ecommerce and retail media, and many coworkers are collaborative and supportive despite ongoing challenges.

Cons

The culture has significantly declined under newer leadership. There is a growing disconnect between executive expectations and the realities of team workloads, resulting in burnout, high turnover, and low morale. Employees are often expected to absorb additional responsibilities without meaningful support, compensation adjustments, or clear direction.
