Pros

At this time the cons greatly outweigh the pros.

Cons

Last week at the all hands meeting, management mentioned the bad Glassdoor reviews and disparaged those who wrote the reviews. So much for listening to your people. They then asked us to go write some reviews (which I think is very unethical), so here is one. There are obviously some fake HR reviews on here -"Very helpful HR team." Can't believe they thought that would look real! Most everyone I know here is looking for a new job or about to start looking. The micromanagement of the sales team is at an all time high, and the people managing (since the VP of Sales departed) have never sold software before. They have no idea what it takes to sell the product and do not trust their people at all. We have daily "stand ups" to talk about what we did yesterday and what we are doing today. Every day! This has turned into a nursery school. There are no SDRs left (they all quit or got fired) and very few incoming leads. If you come to work here, you will have no support and a greenfield territory - a recipe for disaster. It's unfortunate because the application works and this could have been a great company. There are plenty of cutting-edge startups for great salespeople. This is not one of them.

Pros

- The work environment places a lot of trust in individuals and teams to solve problems and navigate complexity in an independent way. Leadership sets vision and priorities through the use of OKR's and relies on the team to discern and execute on achieving those goals. - The company has a strong focus on hiring people that are consistent with the culture of the company and have a strong sense of initiative and desire for continuous improvement. - Everyone at the company has a genuine belief, commitment, and sense of ownership in the vision of the company. There is tremendous internal collaboration and engagement around the product and all of our customer facing teams represent our customers in an empathetic and passionate way. - The work/life balance is excellent and the flexibility to work from home or remotely is fantastic. The company places a lot of trust in the individual to work responsibly in achieving individual and team goals while doing so in a way that gives employees the flexibility they need to still manage and maintain their lives outside the office. - The benefits offered are excellent for a small company and rival those of many large enterprises I have worked for in the past. The leaderships has a strong commitment to the continuous support of employees and their families.

Cons

- As a small company employees often have to navigate wearing multiple hats and balancing competing priorities and ambiguous outcomes. For some individuals this presents a fun, challenging, and rewarding work environment and experience. For others who thrive in more structured environments, this may be a challenging place to work.
