Pros

Great perks, fun peers, lot of snacks

Cons

It became all about the money.. I get it it’s a business however the “be a founder” value was used to try to make people work insane amounts. Why would there be an expectation for everyone to work like a founder would? We are not compensated anywhere near the level the founders are. We are working to support our families not to have courtside jazz seats, fame, and millions of dollars.

Pros

Great coworkers, lower-middle management, product, PTO “unlimited” which isn’t true but does allow flexible usage, generous 2 days off for many holidays, and catered food ~3 times a month, regularly stocked fridge with energy drinks, soda, and water.

Cons

Top down leadership disconnected from sales and customer success team. Little coordinated efforts between nearly every department. Overhauled the pay structure Jan 2026, getting rid of the performance based promotion and pay scaling. Preventing OM’s from making the advertised 77k leading to many of us now stuck at 60k or 66k w/ a horrible annualized raise schedule (high performers not getting raises left waiting for potential raises that likely won’t come this year). Nearly nonexistent HR that is hard to get in communication with.
