Pros

Like the remote remote work Co workers are nice Base pay is good

Cons

From a sales perspective the sale cycle is way too long. But that s more of a nit pick. There is a large disconnect with leadership and not consistent messaging. The most concerning part is the mass exit of leadership. Been year just shy of a year. There has been 6 leaders who left very quickly in the last 6 months. Three of which were at the Csuite level. There is a general strange feeling in the air.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
