Pros

In my experience, the front line GTM managers and ICs are talented, hard working and respectful.

Cons

Challenging category that often is a race to the bottom in terms of pricing. Company strategy has pivoted several times in the AI era, and IC goals are not aligned to the company goals. I.E AEs hired for new business now held to a retention goal in addition to the existing net new ARR goal, execs focused on new logos for low ARR while AEs measured on ARR, AEs held to conference sign up goals, etc. The turnover in sales leadership and sales segment in general has been very challenging with the sales department decreasing by 25% in the last year. Lastly, it is disappointing that the maternity leave for AEs does not include quota relief- it is not setting up new mothers for success expecting them to have the same pipeline upon return from maternity leave as AEs that have been in seat during that 12 weeks.

Pros

I appreciate the company's strong focus on employee wellness and well-being. The company respects personal boundaries and encourages a healthy balance between work and life. Employees are trusted to do their jobs, creating a positive and empowering work environment.

Cons

.Like any growing company, there are areas where processes and execution can continue to improve. Cross-functional alignment and collaboration among leadership teams could be strengthened to improve decision-making and organizational effectiveness.

Pros

The people on the ground are great. There are many hardworking, talented individuals who do their best to support one another despite the internal challenges.

Cons

Product vs. Sales Gap: The product capabilities were overpromised, leaving the post-sales teams to deal with the fallout. Instead of a true SaaS offering, customers often treat the company like a service agency because the software doesn't reliably do what they expect. Customer Friction: Because of these product gaps, you are constantly dealing with unhappy customers. It’s a "whack-a-mole" situation with technical issues, making it nearly impossible to show long-term value. Internal Ghosting: When you need help with these customer issues, internal support is hit-or-miss. You’ll often find people talking in circles or simply ghosting you when things get difficult. Burnout and Turnover: Between the frequent reorgs and the stress of the product issues, morale is at an all-time low. Many people have either quit, been let go, or have had to take leave for mental health reasons. Pay was lower than industry average, so adding that to all the other issues above means it is not a sustainable place to work long term.
