Pros

Product is great so it helps sales. You get to travel more than you would at other companies as inside sales. The compensation is decent.

Cons

the company is under the impression you are an asset, not an employee. Targets are in many ways unrealistic, 35% growth y o y. The turnover is huge, they use the probation period as a blackmail tool. It is clear from day one this is NOT an employee friendly company. The training is inadequate and support from management is non-existent. Absolutely no flexibility. They don't know what home office, short Friday or legal holidays are. Most managers are from Russia, with russian mentality.

Pros

The health insurance was decent and the job was fully work from home. That's about it.

Cons

Inconsistent pay structure across the department, there were team leads making (in some cases significantly) less money than their direct reports and there were differences in pay as much as $20k to $30k between engineers doing the same work on the same team. That number is not an exaggeration. Management did not believe in properly staffing teams to meet the increasingly heavy workloads being placed upon them, whilst at the same time tying meagre pay raises that were markedly below cost of living increases to performance goals that were deliberately set to be next to impossible to achieve. Even the so-called bare minimum requirements required a level of work that other places would have labelled as satisfactory. This led to chronic burnout and stress that caused multiple people to either quit or go out on medical leave for extended periods of time. Team leads cared, but almost everyone above them either did not or did but were powerless to do anything about it. Senior management started offshoring support around late 2022/early 2023 by only hiring engineers in Costa Rica and India for both new growth positions and to replace engineers in existing support locations as they left due to worsening conditions. People who had been with the company since the early days of its time in the US left because the company had lost sight of what made it special and how it had gotten there while it pursued AI pipedreams and raising the company's net worth at the expense of discarding employees like a used baby wet wipe.
