      So much potential slipping away

      Pros

      There are some great people that work here. Sales and CS are a lively group and carry an infectious energy. The mission is a fun neighborhood and more interesting to work in compared with the popular stale tech neighborhoods. Fast growth, big market, major opportunity. Lawrence is very transparent and wants to build a great company.

      Cons

      So much potential, but it feels like it is slipping away. Politics are worse here than I have experienced in other organizations. If you keep your head down and work hard you will not get recognized. But, if you cheer and promote yourself you will. Merit is not rewarded but political behavior is. If you are in the cool crowd your opinion matters. If you are not, then you are ostracized and sidelined. People will be nice to your face and stab you in the back. Even some senior leaders have a reputation for being passive aggressive. If you are single, live in the city, and like to party, you will have many friends. If you have responsibilities and cannot stay late, you will be unlikely to fit in. As of late, a few great people have been fired in a shocking and unexpected manner. Others are beginning to wonder for their own safety. You will likely take a pay cut to work here. Anonymous feedback is incredibly hard to provide. Some including the CTO are famous for their effort and ability to decipher the source of anonymous feedback. We are beginning to suffer from the emperor has no clothes allegory.

      Hi, Lawrence here. Yeah, it does feel like we are entering into a new stage. Some good, some challenging. It makes sense if you think about how far we've come. Two quick comments: On politics - it is up to management to stomp this out. I'm a big fan of Jeff Weiner's (LinkedIn) concept of a "clean escalation." As opposed to letting two disagreeing employees lobby behind closed doors, or at the bar, or wherever, you get everyone in the room to talk it out. Absolutely agree - we can't let this place get political. On recognition - this is on everyone. We have Pride where anybody can give props to anyone else. If you see someone quietly cranking away to no fanfare, post about it on Pride. Hundreds of DDers will see it, and like it, and comment on it. I've seen it happen. Or, grab me for an all hands and we can recognize more publicly. Thanks for the feedback. LC

      Ship is sinking – sad to see

      Pros

      The product is the best product in the market and we have lots of great customers. There’s a lot of hard work to do, but the sales team isn’t expected to compromise work/life balance to achieve results. People are friendly and supportive. Everybody works together to win deals. The sales development program is world class and I have never received so many opportunities generated by SDRs at other companies.

      Cons

      I’ve been at the company for a while and I’ve witnessed the company go from highly supportive of sales to openly hostile towards sales and salespeople. Senior sales leadership is jumping ship including the leader who commands the respect of the sales team and who is directly responsible the reasons why the company scaled so fast. With his departure many members of the sales team are wondering if there is a future for the company. Not enough support from marketing to generate more inbound leads. The product has remained static and there seems to be no roadmap for developing additional features to help the sales team increase contract values. We hear a lot that the company is burning a lot of money each quarter while it continues to hire non-revenue producing employees.

      Pros

      Product potential. Market opportunity. Some great people with tons of potential.

      Cons

      Management has failed multiple times during growth. Top managers are leaving. Incumbents who lack experience are staying. There is no sense of accountability. Growth is vanity.
