Pros

Good perks. You can find good people to work with.

Cons

Leadership is extremely chaotic with constant top-down changes that create confusion and low morale across the organization. The CEO resigned abruptly after only four months in the role, which speaks volumes about the instability at the executive level. Strategic priorities shift frequently without clear communication or explanation, making it nearly impossible to plan for the long term or understand where the company is actually headed. Reorganizations happen all the time, often dissolving entire teams without proper notice or rationale, leaving employees feeling insecure about their roles and futures. Communication from leadership is severely lacking, and employees often learn about major company changes through external news sources rather than internal announcements. There's a noticeable broculture problem with very few women in senior leadership positions, and the communication style from management can be abrasive and non-inclusive. The company announced a 10% workforce reduction affecting over 400 employees, which only added to the climate of uncertainty and fear. Leadership seems overly focused on sales metrics and hitting numbers, sometimes at the expense of product quality, employee wellbeing, and other critical departments. Internal politics have gotten worse since the transition from startup to public company, largely due to an influx of executives from traditional big tech companies who brought heavy bureaucracy with them. Poor financial execution and guidance that keeps getting lowered show that leadership struggles with basic planning and strategy. Overall, the leadership feels reactive rather than proactive, lacking a coherent vision for the company's future and failing to inspire confidence in employees or investors.

Pros

Good base salary & decent benefits.

Cons

The absolute most abysmal Customer Success Leadership in the Industry. No formal onboarding for a program over 6 years in flight. Former CS leader dropping F bombs on town halls, fumbling through a disarray of clumsy slides month over month with changing priorities and go to market initiatives. New CS Leader kicks off the Fiscal Year talking about themself first, versus listening and understanding the current state. And follows up unable to address concerns raised on a town hall about misalignment between Sales & CS. It’s only going to get worse. Day to day riddled with every collaboration tool in production between Sales & CS, adding to no standardization and further communication breakdown. Zero cohesion & partnership within CS cross Industry, Siloed with brick walls between. Silent RIFs and PIPs are a reality.
