Pros

The company is growing, so that's that

Cons

No work life balance. Working 12-hour days, while receiving high pressure. The codebase is horrible, it's frustrating to add new feature, it's frustrating to debug, it's frustrating to deal with support tickets. All requirements are top-down, there is no push back. There is no culture of saying no, and the code base shows. If you want a life, avoid at all cost.

Pros

High-caliber team, product managers who listen to customer feedback, amazing leadership, compelling work. Great fit for accountants who want to interact with customers in a scalable function instead of living in spreadsheets and dealing with dated technology and processes.

Cons

Expectations are high, but training and enablement set you up for success. "Make it happen" mentality required. The plane is definitely being built while it's in the air, so patience and proactive communication with the product team is essential, but things are constantly improved as a direct result of clear, constructive, public feedback.

Pros

Really depends what team you're on but I like the team I'm on and being in a highly competitive environment. Great place to work if you're early in your sales career.

Cons

Not matching our 401K drives me nuts so definitely not going to be here for the long term. Turnover rate is high on other teams
