Pros

The employees are nice and want the company to succeed. If your job is well defined and the expectations are set before you start, you will have a much better time here. The pressure can be extremely overwhelming, and the majority of the company has less than one year of tenure there. Most employees don't make it to 12 months. This is mostly due to lack of culture, management, and vision from the founding team.

Cons

Huge attrition rates have plagued this company. More people seem to quit or are fired than people sticking around. The company lacks a clear vision and can't seem to truly differentiate itself as a reason to buy flowers through them. Many employees can't really describe what the company "is", and the platform has a lot of problems. The founding team is very inexperienced, and they rarely seem on the same page about things. In fact, they have brought it up several times in team meetings about how they are trying to create alignment between them, but after months of trying nothing really changed. Engineering seems to have tons of problems as well, since the original team walked out, and the current team continues to struggle despite many new hires. Marketing is practically nonexistent, and also has a lot of trouble getting projects off the ground. This is both due to the founders and the lack of experience on the team.

Pros

The SDR team culture is one of the strongest parts of the company. It’s collaborative, motivating, and filled with people who genuinely support each other’s growth. Direct management is also a highlight they’re approachable, invested in development, and do their best to advocate for the team. Day-to-day, you feel like you’re surrounded by people who want you to succeed and are willing to help you get there.

Cons

Upper management struggles with accountability, especially when it comes to training and expectations. There’s a noticeable gap in onboarding and ongoing development, yet performance expectations remain high without the proper support systems in place. It often feels like leadership pushes for results without taking responsibility for the lack of structure and resources needed to achieve them, which can lead to frustration and burnout.
