Pros

-Good coworkers -Good opportunities for travel -Great health benefits -Fully remote -Transparent all hands -Unlimited PTO, but this is highly dependent on your manager -Overall, easy enough place to coast

Cons

-Pay is bottom 25% for tech, if that -A lot of people have left in the US this year and not been replaced (or they were laid off). Everyone, including executives, are doing 2+ jobs. It's burnout central (in the US. In the Nordics and EU it seems there is more balance.) - Lack of innovation- product, marketing and sales are failing to keep up with the marketplace and are outdated. -With everyone so busy no one steps back to think strategically or bring new ideas forward. At this point you're just doing tasks. Easy enough, but if you're looking to be creative, develop new skills and push boundaries this is not the place. -Development is minimal and is compounded by lack of consistent onboarding, lack of job descriptions and no career outlines.

Pros

Talented and collaborative team High-impact, customer-facing work Strong exposure to enterprise environments

Cons

High performance does not guarantee stability Limited transparency from leadership Recognition and rewards may not fully materialize Workload could become excessive at times Layoffs impacted strong contributors I spent four years here as a Sales Engineer and consistently performed at a high level. I supported enterprise deals, partnered closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering, and contributed meaningfully to pipeline growth and customer success. I also carried a significant workload, often working extended hours to keep up with demand. At one point, the volume of work was high enough that management had to step in and redistribute some of my responsibilities. Despite that, I remained fully committed and continued delivering strong results. Despite strong performance, I was let go in early 2026. What made the experience especially frustrating was that I had earned President’s Club (148% of quota in 2025) and the associated BVI trip, but was not given the opportunity to attend due to the timing of the "layoff". It was difficult to see both sustained effort and recognized performance ultimately not translate into stability or follow-through. While I understand that business decisions are driven by broader factors, there was limited transparency leading up to the organizational changes, which added to the frustration. Based on this experience, it’s difficult to fully recommend this employer. Based on this experience, I would encourage candidates to carefully evaluate how performance, recognition, and organizational decisions are aligned.
