Pros

Amazing leader team bringing the energy and excitement to all the innovations. Product shipped over 550+ features last year. Wow! Category leader in experimentation, digital experience platforms and more. Investing in their employees. I've seen a lot of people get promoted to Senior IC roles and Manager/Director roles. I love the people I work with from product, to sales, to customer success, to marketing, and more. Great people, great customers, and great products. They value the customers input when it comes to product innovation. Getting together at the beginning of the year at Bootcamp is the right energy to get everybody fired up and ready for the year. Awesome company culture and more fun to work especially with tools like bonusly.

Cons

Growing fast! I believe we're investing in more headcount across all teams, especially marketing, product, & engineering. I know Achiever's Club is mainly for AEs but I wish it was possible for all departments (from talent acquisition, to finance, to marketing, etc. in IC roles to make it too).

Thank you for sharing such an enthusiastic and long-term perspective—five years of experience and continued excitement truly mean a lot to us. We’re proud of the pace of innovation across our products and grateful for the leadership, collaboration, and customer focus that make milestones like shipping 550 features possible. Hearing that you feel energized by both the work and the people across teams—from product to go-to-market—is exactly the environment we aim to create. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback around scaling and inclusivity. As we continue to grow globally, expanding headcount thoughtfully and improving cross-team communication are key priorities. Your point about broader access to programs and more inclusive communication channels is well taken. Thank you for your continued impact, collaboration, and commitment to our culture. We’re excited to keep building what’s next—together.

- Dismissive promotion culture - Pay is mediocre; employees with more senior titles making the same as less senior employees - Poor career advancement and recognition - Lack of career guidance, support, and proper feedback - “Pull your socks up” mentality with little clarity into promotion opportunity - “You should be grateful to work here” culture
