Pros

1. Technology is 2-3 years ahead of closest competitor. 2. Technology actually works and clients love the product (UX) and the level of protection/visibility it provides. 3. Founders set out with clear product roadmap and company vision and have hired exceptional executive operators to execute strategy and scale the company. 4. Overwhelming majority of Austin office are great people who want to make the culture better and create a destination workplace for central Texas. 5. Upper management and C-suite are genuinely listening to employee needs that are within their control and they are activating. Everything from getting a new office to making sure the Cold Brew never runs out.

Cons

1. Salary/OTE and stock options are all below the Austin and Silicon Valley average. 2. Keeping track of resources and knowing “who to ask” can be difficult with this amount of growth. 3. Corporate marketing budget (MDF) for events, swag, etc is virtually nonexistent and disproportionately allocated to enterprise marketing.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
