Pros

Some very intelligent and hardworking people UI of the software is industry leading Acquired ContentKing to widen product offering across technical SEO

Cons

Multiple rounds of lay offs in recent years, largely related to poor executive decision making. Monumental pressure to achieve unrealistic targets to satisfy investors. False impression of how valuable their software is and consider themselves far greater than the competition, but this is only the case in very niche use cases. For most, the significantly cheaper competition does the majority of what is required. Poorest renewal / highest customer churn of any business I've ever seen A few very long term employees warp stats, but attrition and turnover are extremely high

Pros

Good experience with the people so far, feel like everyone is generally friendly and it's a small enough company that it's easy to connect with people to learn about their positions. Good experiences so far with managers who are generally warm and friendly. Relatively good work life balance, you work remotely all month of August and you can travel.

Cons

Biggest con personally is the low pay, just among the lowest you can make in a starting position and it takes about 1.5-2 years to scale into a better place as an SDR which is odd to me because its a position that on average folks spend that amount of time in before moving up. I believe it causes higher turnover in the first year as an SDR and would love to see a higher starting pay and clearer path forward to improve motivation and retention. I also wish they had mentioned in the interview that commission is 50% taxed, I understand this is common practice but didn't feel like there was great transparency on this. Lastly, feel like theres an unbalanced approach to in person office culture, it doesn't seem to be applied equally across all teams (for instance the Sales team seems to have the most pressure to be in person, most other teams it seems are are able to work remotely more flexibly). Just makes it confusing when you can ask to work remotely due to weather or personal reasons, only to show up and find that you are the only one in office which can be frustrating and cause unnecessary tension.
