Pros

• Incredible staff. Kind and supportive. In my experience, anything else is simply not tolerated. • Amazing leadership. Our senior leaders have earned the trust and respect of our employee base by practicing what they preach, both in assuming best intent, and espousing social values that align with our company vision. • Pre-covid, incredible facilities and ample opportunity for socialization. • Not an overtime culture. It is abnormal to stay late working at the office.

Cons

• Very heavy on the warm fuzzies. In the balancing act of "support your people" and "run a business," we can tend to err too far on the "support your people" side that it can put a wrench in operations.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review! We are so happy you find the people and product here to be top notch! We certainly miss being in the office and seeing our co-workers' friendly faces, but it has also been fun to utilize our own product to stay productive and connected :) Thank you for providing the feedback that our 'warm fuzzies' can occasionally slow things down. It is a goal of ours to put people first and achieve operational excellence at the same time, so this is helpful feedback to have!

Pros

The best people you could ever hope to work alongside Very generous benefits and perks that are constantly evolving and improving Really challenging and fun problems to solve Dynamic, fast-paced and creative environment Embracing remote work and pivoting quickly with the changing environment Employee-centric culture - genuinely a company that understands that people matter most

Cons

We've grown fast, so that can make for some more friction than your typical steady/non-growth environment. Nothing that's insurmountable though and if you have an inclination for working through problems and assuming the best in others (which is quite easy to do here given the kind and thoughtful folks around you), then it's just part of the reality of working at a high growth SaaS company.

Pros

CEO to VP to Sales to Customer Experience - everyone is super accessible, focused on working together to make the best product. Also, D&I isn't a checkbox here, people actually care about diversity, inclusion and belonging.

Cons

It's a small company. There will be resource constraints that will require zero ego and nice humans to solve.
