Pros

The product genuinely works, which is the company's greatest strength and the primary reason it has maintained a loyal customer base. There is some highly talented leadership and executives within the organization. If you have the opportunity to work with them, absorb as much as you can from their experience and expertise. The company's mission and brand continue to resonate with many employees, even if execution and leadership challenges have made it difficult to realize its full potential.

Cons

I used to have a great deal of faith in this company and what the brand stood for, but unfortunately I can no longer recommend it. The amount of leadership and executive turnover over the past year has been alarming. When so many senior leaders leave in such a short period of time, it raises legitimate questions about the company's direction, culture, and long-term strategy. Morale across the organization appears to be low, and many employees feel unsupported. HR is often viewed as reactive rather than helpful, and trust in the department has eroded. Instead of serving as an objective resource, it is frequently perceived as inconsistent and disconnected from employee concerns as the feedback doesn't always feel neutral and is often more one sided. The lack of clear decision-making is also evident. Initiatives move slowly, priorities shift constantly, and teams often seem misaligned. Communication can be vague, and getting straightforward answers is often difficult. Most disappointing is the lack of meaningful innovation. This was once a company that helped define its category, but it now feels as though competitors are moving ahead while the organization struggles to execute and keep up. Product development progresses at a frustratingly slow pace, and there appears to constantly be a lack leadership and accountability in that area. I genuinely like the brand and the mission behind it, which makes this even more disappointing to write. I'm not a disgruntled employee—just someone sharing an honest perspective that reflects concerns I have heard repeatedly from both current and former employees.

Pros

Decent benefits and WFH stipend

Cons

This company's HR department (in combination with senior leadership) is a lawsuit waiting to happen with how reactionary they are toward employees before properly investigating claims within the parameters of state and federal laws. When they are challenged with authentic rebuttals to their inappropriate (and arguably illegal) behavior, they take zero accountability and desperately try to bail themselves out of the corner they put themselves in with their retaliatory actions. The customer support job is also a bait-and-switch call center job, and you will be micromanaged and intimidated by middle management for every second you are clocked in. You'll have to literally explain to your supervisor that you are a human who has to use the restroom when they admonish you for taking 3 minutes away from your desk.
