Pros

Pay was decent and coworkers are supportive like a huddle of the abused.

Cons

Great leaders are great communicators and the CEO is a horrible communicator. Like the other reviews have stated he will fire you on a whim without cause. Even entire departments have been removed. Read the review here and other places, then run! It's not worth it.

Pros

Stocked fridge, bagels, and food sometimes if you work after hours.

Cons

Basically every aspect of the company is at the whim of the CEO Benny Czarny. He's an egotistical, condescending, with extremely loose morals and no care for anyone but himself and those related to him. Everything seems great when you start... He is extremely friendly to you and apparently tells everyone he's going to make they're career and makes you think he's your friend (he did it to me). However, after a little while the whole thing will switch. There were multiple times that I warned the CEO about an issue that would arise if something wasn't done (can't give specifics because I really don't want to be identified because I'm positive he's the type of person who would spread all sorts of lies to ruin my reputation). When said thing that I had documented e-mails warning him of happened he was furious... After discovering the exact reason during a company meeting in which the entire company was there... Management, employees, interns... Everybody. CEO without even hearing my report blamed me and then proceeded to berate me for an extended period of time. I told the CEO that I would stay if there was an apology and it could even be a private apology and he refused and was somehow still shocked when I accepted an offer somewhere else. Oh also.. .Pay is terrible. When I took another offer he actually asked to see my offer letter because he didn't believe I was being paid that much.

Ok for some, not for most - make sure you do your research

Pros

They have a competitive set of products and compete in a large and fast growing market. They have a large international presence, so if you want to work in Vietnam, Hungary, Romania, Northern Ireland, or Israel (or with a team located there) you will have that opportunity. If you are currently not working and looking for an individual contributor job in engineering, product management, or customer success the company is worth considering.

Cons

The company leadership style is Autocratic / Authoritarian - which can be ok depending on what type of culture you are looking for. If you are looking for a job where you will be told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it - this could be a good fit. If not, it probably won't be a good fit. The HR philosophy is Hire Slow, Fire Fast. While taking corrective action on a bad hire is necessary, the company has a history of spending several months recruiting for positions and then firing the person after only a couple of weeks on the job. Jobs in sales, marketing, and business ops are particularly challenging here. If you currently have a job, think twice before leaving it to work here. Be careful not to over-rely on the recent company reviews with positive comments - these short reviews are often from companies requesting employees write them - find contacts on LinkedIn who used to work there and ask them to share their experience as part of your due diligence process.
