Pros

Some interesting problems that will definitely be part of the future.

Cons

Leadership is devoid of tech savvy. They're all business oriented and under value the technology side of the business. Extremely micromanaging. I've never worked somewhere where everyone I talked to seemed to dislike the work environment.

Thanks for leaving an honest review. We are happy you recognize the exciting challenges our technical team has to tackle but are discouraged by your thoughts regarding our commitments to technology and leadership. Our infrastructure sets the foundation for how we will continue scaling for the months and years to come. It is this foundation that will enable us to accomplish our mission of becoming the home for all things home and we place high importance on the technical side of our business to achieve this goal. While there has been changes in the past year, our team has rallied around the creation of our new values which we have already seen lived out across teams. We hope this becomes more prevalent as these values are further integrated into the innerworkings of our business and wish you the best on your next opportunity. - Laura Kato, SVP HR

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
