Pros

- Smart, authentic and transparent leadership - A strong product that is always evolving - the marketing product really slowed down for a few years but the current work to take customer feedback seriously and future-proof is impressive - We get to solve for the mid market and SMBs. This is so much more interesting than chasing enterprises or being beholden to large customers. We can make a real impact on our customers businesses - Employee onboarding and training is taken very seriously - you are given what you need to succeed - We have real functions outside of the US (product, BI, legal, operations) - this is rare! - If you have a case to make and have the data and logic to back it up you can get access to whoever you need to make a change. People are accessible.

Cons

- If you don't want to give and receive feedback (good and bad) constantly then it's not the place for you - you can't be sensitive or take things personally - not really a con for me but be aware. - Need to do a better job at setting expectations around career growth and putting people in the drivers seat. We can pander a little bit to much to every piece of feedback - It's become increasingly difficult to execute a new idea quickly - BET, systems and reporting are slow and very centralized. I understand they have so many competing project and priorities and I'm confident we will get to a better place but this makes true autonomy difficult

I think there's a lot of great feedback in here, thank you for taking the time to share it. I would echo your sentiment around the excitement of the mid-market and SMB space and the quality and sphere of work our team in Dublin is giving (which of course continues to grow). I couldn't agree more on career growth--we've associated growth with promotion and need to do a better job pushing back a bit there. So much of that requires the thoughtful feedback you outlined in your previous bullet--we'll continue to make progress and I hope make you proud there. We are at our off-site attempting to execute on your final advice (short term execution, long term future proofing), so thanks for the push there and for all you're doing to help Dublin's team grow and thrive. -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
