Pros

Wonderful coworkers. Great product. Training and resources in place for staff and clients.

Cons

Low pay for a tech company. New CEO brought in mid-2024 is dismissive of employees, micromanages without retaining information, requires constant meetings that are duplicative, removed valuable information share and collaboration, and set unreasonable expectations. Account executives achieved despite all of this because the product is solid. An atmosphere of fear and uncertainty spread across the sales team and was often shared with HR.

Pros

Collaborative Team Environment: Many team members were supportive and willing to collaborate, fostering a sense of teamwork. Flexible Work Arrangements: The company offered some flexibility in work hours, which helped with work-life balance.

Cons

Lack of Clear Communication: There were frequent miscommunications and inconsistencies in decision-making, leading to confusion and frustration. Unstable Processes: Processes often changed without clear explanation or reasoning, making it difficult to maintain consistency in work. Inadequate Support: I often felt unsupported by management, particularly during times of transition and high stress. Poor Handling of Employee Concerns: My attempts to seek clarification or raise concerns were sometimes met with resistance or were misunderstood, which contributed to a challenging work environment. Rapid Changes Post-Acquisition: The company culture and work environment shifted significantly after being acquired, which created instability and uncertainty.

Pros

Many individual contributors genuinely care about doing good work and supporting customers. The product suite has the potential to serve associations well and often stands out compared to competitors.

Cons

The CEO frequently agrees to build anything a customer asks for, regardless of feasibility, just to close a deal. Sales is encouraged to promise features that don’t exist. As a result, product and engineering teams are routinely pulled into one-off customer work that benefits no one else and derails broader product progress. One team recently had to work past midnight to meet a last-minute customer demand. More concerning is the shift in company culture since the arrival of the current COO. The new leadership approach has fostered an environment of blame rather than collaboration. Instead of teams working together to solve problems, they are now encouraged to point fingers: support is blamed for bad tickets, engineering for too many bugs, product for poor planning, even when issues stem from leadership decisions. This blame-first mentality has eroded trust between departments and created a hostile, high-stress atmosphere. The COO’s leadership style prioritizes control and optics over alignment and collaboration, and it’s accelerating the company’s cultural decline. What was once a place where people tried to fix problems together is now one where teams are pitted against each other with little accountability at the top. Additional reviews referencing the need for employees to adjust to a 'fast-paced' work environment were submitted following senior management's request for responses to address previous critical feedback on Glassdoor.
