Pros

Pay is competitive and the ability to work remotely with “unlimited” PTO is certainly alluring. You’ll meet some fantastic and really smart people if you join! The people are the best part by far.

Cons

The company is incredibly short sighted and immature in decision making - two RIFs (reduction in force) have occurred in the last 4 years. Yikes. 2020 made sense with COVID, but the most recent one in 2024? How can you in good faith announce to investors that you need to cut management layers… and then rehire for the same (and more senior position) not a month later? Any HR or People Success professional with common sense should keep searching and not waste time applying or interviewing - this company is a joke when it comes to org design, performance/results, and strategic decisions. I know that’s blunt, but it’s intel I wish I had before I joined.

Cons

-Numerous Sales teams that share the same markets/TAMs. Customers and prospects get exhausted of outreach - Since going public, the goal posts keep moving forward even if 60% of the org hit goal. -A number of core leaders have left, new ones still learning the ropes which was hindering the orgs and teams
