      Pros

      The colleagues I worked with were genuinely great — collaborative, supportive, and talented.

      Cons

      Despite record profits, bonuses were reduced, which felt demoralising and unfair amongst senior pay increases. The management culture is toxic, with office politics running deep and senior leaders lacking people management skills. Decisions often seem disconnected from employee wellbeing. Advice to future employees: Keep your head down, do your work, and don’t get emotionally invested in colleague relationships. Trust is a luxury here — protect your peace. Those who don’t fit the mould are quickly marginalised and micromanaged.

      Pros

      was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

      Cons

      Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
