Pros

There are so many. First, the transparency and autonomy you are given is remarkable at a company of this size. You are given all the tools and autonomy to do your best work. Second, the team is fantastic from top to bottom. Third, the company is still laser focused on the mission and not solely on the quarterly earnings. Finally, it's amazing to see a company of this size balance scale and growth. It's like a Mini-MBA.

Cons

Legacy internal systems are being rewritten which makes some of the day-to-day more difficult than it should be. You'll have to have an ounce of patience as the team catches up.

An ounce of patience might be the title of my (not so forthcoming) autobiography after this year--you're spot on that scale requires diligence and patience in equal doses, I'm definitely feeling that personally as I'm sure you are too. I love that you call out working here is like a mini-MBA, and that you emphasized the importance of focus--we are working hard to do fewer things better, and I hope that ripple is felt throughout the business if we execute as we'd hoped in the year to come. Thanks for the review and for helping our customers, partners, and prospects grow! -Katie

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
