Pros

Honestly I can’t think of any after they fired most of their skilled staff. Most people still employed have never worked in an actual business and it shows

Cons

Leadership prides themselves on their toxic practices and calls it their culture, makes anyone who calls out the toxicity feel like they just don’t “get” the culture. Toxic culture is bleeding into bad business and the company is hemorrhaging money (CEO and leadership is open about how much money the business is losing but will not accept blame as to why). After continuously changing what they are selling, even the product isn’t something that has a leg to stand on in a competitive market with much better software and services available.

Pros

Work from home is nice.

Cons

This company has an incredibly toxic culture that stems from the very top. Leadership fosters a cliquish environment that feels more like a high school hierarchy than a professional organization. Micromanagement is excessive, with HR monitoring calendars and even adjusting PTO without employee input. There’s also an unspoken expectation to participate in after-hours social events, and those who don’t fully engage are often penalized in subtle ways. New business opportunities are not fairly distributed among the sales team, yet leadership expects to be looped into every self-sourced deal. Additionally, leadership and select employees hold meetings within sales reps’ territories without including the assigned rep, which erodes trust. Within the client success team, collaboration is minimal. Some employees have gone around their colleagues to meet with key client contacts, seemingly to prove their individual value. This behavior appears to be a direct reflection of leadership’s approach to internal competition rather than teamwork. The work culture prioritizes overwork and last-minute demands, making work-life balance nearly impossible. Those who try to set boundaries are often criticized. The company’s processes are overly complicated, and many long-term clients stay because of personal relationships with employees rather than confidence in the actual methodology. Recent leadership hires brought in a glimmer of hope, implementing effective business practices—but when their approach didn’t align with the CEO’s vision, they were gone within six months. Turnover is alarmingly high, and retention seems dependent on whether an employee is willing to accept the culture as-is or question it. This review is written to provide transparency for anyone considering a role here.
