Pros

I really enjoyed my time here. They were great people, easy to talk to and had a great sense of understanding when it came to respecting balance. My department was amazing. We were a great team.

Cons

My honest opinion about this company is that towards the end I just felt it failing. Growth was stagnant and the incentives were diminishing. I wasn’t provided a raise for 3 years and I actually had a big pay cut after my first year because they couldn’t afford to keep paying me the same. I stayed because I was loyal, but silly me. It’s a shame because they could be much bigger but they just can’t seem to find a way to hash out the deeper issues here. No growth at ALL. I gave up after I knew it wasn’t gonna be anything to move up from. I just stayed because I picked up my laptop and worked from wherever I wanted. That was fun but it became old quickly and I have way more ambition than that. I still wish them luck

Pros

If you work hard here at AppSumo, you will be rewarded and respected. Great work/life balance if you are efficient with your job.

Cons

There are some risks to working in a start-up environment that is navigating the changing SaaS ecosystem in the age of AI. It is not a place for you if you are not comfortable with constant experiments, product offering adaptions, and some controlled chaos.
