Pros

The product and platform is unique to the industry and their are a lot of talented Engineers and Product people that still work here.

Cons

-The leadership is out of touch with the employees. -There has been a cascade of bad decisions from a horribly handled layoff off of 30+% of the workforce to a marketing campaign that bashed competitors in a industry that has been decimated and struggling to stay afloat. -The company pivoted to a 100% SaaS company with the new CRO and the approach to the market has been not been well received by prospects with the sales strategy characterized as tone deaf.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
