Pros

- The product is genuinely strong and continues to evolve in meaningful ways. It’s easy to stay motivated when you believe in what you’re building. - Our customers are amazing; collaborative, forward-thinking, and truly invested in making the most of the platform. - New leadership has brought renewed clarity, focus, and energy. I have more hope and confidence than ever in the company’s future growth. - Great colleagues across teams. Smart, supportive, and resilient people who care about doing good work. - Competitive remuneration and solid benefits. - Real opportunities for growth and development if you’re proactive and take ownership of your career. - After four years, I’m still learning and being challenged in good ways.

Cons

- It hasn’t all been smooth sailing, there have been periods of change and uncertainty with poor communication. - As with many growing companies, priorities can shift quickly, which isn’t always easy. I will say there has been a genuine shift in a positive direction though, and these ‘cons’ feel like a thing of the past.

Pros

I'm still new here, one month in. But I've had an outstanding experience so far. I sell a forward thinking product that solves real problems for organizations looking to communicate more effectively with their workforce. The leadership from the CEO on down seems genuinely interested in my success, the success of the overall team, and the customers using or considering using Firstup products.

Cons

I was initially hesitant to join this company because the Glassdoor reviews here were horrendous. Before I accepted the offer, I had a heart to heart with the hiring manager, CRO, and an account executive. And I'm so glad I did. They didn't make excuses about the low ratings. They explained how a year ago this company had some toxic leadership and people left. Since then, new leadership has taken over, and even though I didn't experience the "toxic days", I can tell things here are quite different. Just goes to show how critical leadership is to a company's culture and overall success. I don't regret joining Firstup at all.
