      Pros

      Probably was a great place to work from ~2017-2021. Healthy office culture. Very encouraging and not cutthroat at all. Definitely peaked during the pandemic (2020 - 2021).

      Cons

      All deals that closed were inbound leads of course which you have no control over as an AE. Top AEs get fed deals and that's why they hit quota. Leadership was a bunch of ex-CareerBuilder execs.

      Pros

      Coworkers are very nice. Good benefits. Fully remote and unlimited PTO

      Cons

      CEO micro manages and controls the weirdest minute details. Constantly shifting their 'strategy' and so much politicking. Very little career development due to favoring external hiring rather. Constant layoffs and re-orgs.
