Pros

The people I worked with on the marketing team were amazing, I really enjoyed each of our team meetings. They were smart, dedicated, hard-working, innovative, and effective. Unfortunately almost all of that team was laid off or left the company. So, I can't vouch for many of the people left.

Cons

The product is about a B- level. It works good enough that the company won't scrap it and start over, but it doesn't work well enough for it to catch on and actually be something people want. The leadership, especially the CEO, are not aware that the product isn't good enough and seek to blame every other department for the product's failure to find customers. I was laid off after only 6 months in which I met and exceeded every goal laid out for me and in which I took on more than three other people's jobs after they left and were never replaced. I am not writing this review out of bitterness though, the criticisms I offered are legitimate and need to be addressed if this company will ever find success.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. After a long and very deliberate review of all the options, we decided that it was best for the health of the company to undergo a re-org with the understanding that, unfortunately, would also impact some of our great people. This decision was not easily made, yet we believe that it was necessary to support the needs of the business, giving us more agility and the ability to be more responsive to our customers and the marketplace. In terms of our product offering, while we appreciate your feedback and there's certainly room for improvement, we actually consistently receive positive reviews, our churn rate is very low and 30% of our customers are coming through referral. Thank you again for your feedback and wishing you all the best in your next project.

Pros

Forward-thinking leadership with a clear vision for innovation. Exciting opportunities to work on impactful projects. A supportive and collaborative team environment. Flexibility in work arrangements, allowing for better work-life balance. A great place to take ownership and grow professionally.

Cons

As a growing startup, resources can be limited at times. Rapid changes mean adaptability is key. Some processes are still evolving as the company scales.

Pros

The team was great! This company HAD such a amazing team who dedicated years to the success of the company. The product had so much promise.

Cons

The workload was pretty overwhelming — most people were doing the job of 2 to 3. Senior leadership was basically nonexistent because people kept quitting, which said a lot about how things were run at the top. Raises were tough to come by, even though it seemed like there was always money for everything else. It just didn’t feel like people were really valued given how much those same people put into the company.
