Pros

Office in good location, there is a canteen with free snacks, and some genuinely nice folks if you willing to find them. Good company if you are norwegian looking for a semi-retired lifestyle.

Cons

All the negative reviews here are correct. Salary is 30% lower than market rate Company ruined by middle managers and directors with micromanagements, politics - they have 3 layers of middle management for a startup. Company is running at a lost with no profitability in sight and the C team seems to have no clue. People stayed here for more than 2 years is because they couldn’t find a job elsewhere - check Linkedin profiles of the people here and see where they end up next. It’s career suicide if you choose to come here.

Pros

There is a clear product market fit with the service and executive leadership does listen to any feedback from any employee in the company.

Cons

Like any fast growing startup, there is always change and some growing pains that come along with it, nothing that can't be worked through though. It will just take a little time.

Pros

Travel - company is Europe based and lots of oops to go to abroad offices. Flexibility with time off and work life balance.

Cons

Where do I start? Leadership is a mess with constant changes to the C team. For NJ/NY based sales roles - I’ve seen them actively avoid promoting high performing SDR’s. Then try to outsource SDR’s. They consistently hired new AE’s only to fire them in under 3 months, not giving them appropriate training, books, or a ramp period. For those in data and tech, they paid them under market value, refused to hire more US based team members and are now outsourcing. This is not a company that wants to see you grow. They have a few high performers that they keep but can’t repeat with other talented sales professionals but those high performers hold all the valuable accounts. They make expensive changes and when that doesn’t work immediately they dismantle and let people go. They don’t value loyalty, except for a select few. Also, constant HR violations.
