Pros
- Lots of learning for people in Engineering, Marketing, Sales & Customer Success - fast growing market - excellent team - high profile customers For people in Engineering there is tremendous learning opportunity as the company executes atleast two releases every month and addresses the needs of a high-growth market. Profit.co's customers include some of the highest profile Fortune 500 companies as well as fast growing funded start-ups. Hence Engineering needs to deliver continuously to maintain the "product leadership" as well as keep their demanding customers happy. This is an ideal environment for anyone looking to get some cutting edge B2B SaaS product company experience. If you are in Sales or Customer Success - Profit.co is acquiring customers at a rapid pace globally. Just look at the G2 reviews and Customer casestudies in the Profit.co website to get an idea of the impact the company is making with customers. If you want some solid B2B SaaS experience in your resume definitely consider Profit.co. Generally there is zero politics here, as long as it is clear that you are putting sincere efforts everyone will rally behind you (Product, Engineering, Marketing and of course the executive leadership). If you are in customer success you will be expected to deliver value continuously and keep your customers referenceable. The incentives are improving every quarter for sales/customer success. The Profit.co marketing team generates content at a prolific pace. They take all-marketing very seriously. They are well placed in G2, have been mentioned by Gartner in a couple of reports and rank very well for highly desired search terms. Whether you are an youngster wanting to get some digital marketing experience or a veteran expecting to sharpen your skillset a stint in Profit.co marketing will be super-valuable for your career. The culture is collaborative, but still competitive. They practice what they preach - implementing OKRs and keeping the scoreboard (goals and achievement of the various teams) open for everyone to see. The weekly PPP meeting to discuss OKR progress can be a great occasion for everyone to be on the same page. This level of "transparency" and ability to ask questions to anyone in these meetings (including the CEO and the executive team) can be a little unnerving for people coming from large companies that share information on a "need to know basis". People can choose training needs and those in sales/marketing/customer success get excellent exposure to various training programs. They have also been investing heavily in tech to support Marketing , sales & customer success.
Cons
- Very demanding as in any high growth startup. The company is in a hyper-growth mode and hence the demands on the various teams are quite high. Choose profit.co only if you are ready to give your best and continuously learn. - HR is still evolving and may not have reached the ideal maturity. But the managers generally will take care of your needs and are open to your ideas and feedback. - Employee Engagement activities need to improve (I guess working remotely has had it's toll for most of us). - For people who have never experienced the fast-paced nature of startups the overall environment can feel a bit unstructured as the focus is on rapid action rather than executing work through SoPs.
