was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status.
decent pay
Cons
Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure.
Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo).
Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long.
Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years.
Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth.
Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements.
Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership.
Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
