Feels like I'm on the Titanic

Pros

Very few, but the pay is on par or above average for a small start-up. Genuinely, there are some really good people at this company who are doing their best to wake up and grind it out every day, contrary to the cons they need to deal with on a daily basis. They also have some really good logos in their portfolio.

Cons

On a daily basis, I feel like I’m Jack, and Rose is hogging the piece of wood floating in the ocean. Barely treading water because the leadership team (the iceberg), is inevitably sinking their employees (the Titanic). Every day is filled with stress and whiplash. There’s a false sense of hope and security at this company. Everything is spun so that the “cult” sees things through rose-colored glasses, instead of “owning it” and admitting that not everything is as peachy as it seems. People are leaving on a weekly if not daily basis. It’s a shame that the management team continues to act like the musical ensemble towards the end of the movie, just smiling away and continuing to play their music, as people are jumping from the upper deck and going down with the ship. The culture is as toxic as the water was cold that day.

Pros

very competitive competitive package for revenue org/services teams

Cons

1- leadership are often people who were promoted too early on in their careers and do not know how to manage people nor have experience at other companies 2- lots of leaders have very limited industry experience and most of their career was at WorkBoard 3- EXTREME lack of accountability of leadership 4- Inconsistent processes across teams - leadership cannot standardize how to operate even after providing feedback to leadership 5- NO TRUST: Literally our CEO said no layoffs in March and then come May & June, 30% of the company was laid off. There is no trust and morale at this company

Pros

- Nice office with ocean views - Compensation, especially for remote employees who aren't accustomed to Silicon Valley salaries. This is how they lure intelligent individuals away from attractive positions - Generally a friendly environment - Proliferating concept/industry (OKRs) and strong revenue growth rate

Cons

- No investment in remote employee experience. Remote employees are left to fend for themselves in a high-pressure environment. Internal resources dedicated to this topic were unresponsive and of no assistance - Lack of transparency, particularly from Sales Management. You sell a goal management product: use it with your internal employees better and communicate with them when they're off track and need to improve. Also be more transparent in the hiring process and convey the lack of training/development and investment in remote employees - Lack of employee ramp time and flexibility. If you're not "producing" within your first few months, you'll be on management's watch list despite what you may think - CEO micromanages and is involved in every single decision at the company. If you're not on her good side, best of luck - Overrated product
