Pros

I found that I go to work with many brilliant people. It felt like the business was going well therefore funds were available to build large-scale projects that make a difference. Working remote, flexible schedule and unlimited vacation (to a certain extend) allow for work/life balance. I think the flat hierarchy and autonomous teams make it a good place to start your career and grow to a certain level. However, I would recommend taking your experience somewhere else before you feel the cons listed below outweigh the pros.

Cons

I think a handful of brilliant jerks overshadow the masses of brilliant and diligent people. I felt senior leadership and HR turned a blind eye to sexism and discrimination minimizing events that might have been reported to them. This seems to not only overshadow the well-intentioned people that are trying to make a difference but actually scare them off. Because of this, it makes me think women will have more difficulty in thriving in such an environment.

Pros

Remote and unfortunately that is it

Cons

Sales org is in disarray, constant changes to quota, replaced all of inbound with reps in Guatemala, very low and inconsistent lead flow. Maybe 25% of reps will hit quota month over month
