Pros

Work on a mission that is meaningful Work with talented, down to earth people - CEO is very friendly and so is the leadership team which is family-based - Great events and ability to work full time from home - We have time to do research and to work on our projects - Stock options shares - Great assurance benefits

Cons

- Salary is less competitive than other places - It's hard to know what the other department do, less communications between departments - We have a meaningful mission and product is great but we rarely see how impactful our work is - Some decisions (not all) are just based on assumptions, which can be frustrating

Yes! Thanks for this advice. We have hired a research team that is getting to the heart of our users and finding out what they need and what they love. This user input is driving strategy and product development. We’ve implemented a slew of recent initiatives to improve interdepartmental communication, such as monthly OKR updates, regular team posts and a CEO AMA.

Pros

Great product that stands out amongst the competition, if you know how to sell it.

Cons

Nepotism. Cronyism. Silos. Lack of ownership or accountability. Personal attachment to broken processes. Zero respect for sales as a profession. Zero interest in learning more about remote employees. Non existent upward mobility unless you bring in investment.

Thank you for sharing this feedback from a remote employee perspective. Thanks to your feedback and due to the pandemic, for over a year now our whole team has shifted to remote work, which has allowed our company to learn and grow to become a better remote team. We have introduced new culture initiatives that the whole company appreciates and allows everyone to feel included and heard. We have anonymous surveys asking for what people want more or less of, we have introduced challenges, Slack integrations to encourage coworkers to get to know each other better in non work atmospheres, random events to keep the fun going that people, those in the office were missing and those working remotely felt were lacking. Our Social Committee has come up with brilliant ideas and games to keep people connected and we are thankful for them, all the employees and to you for helping us get to this awesome culture we enjoy today!
