Pros

The culture - never have I felt like I could truly be myself more than while working here. Everyone is very open, honest and accepting. You can truly be yourself. We have such a diverse culture too with so many people from various backgrounds and it makes us a better company as a whole! The leadership - they know their stuff. Smart, engaging, transparent. They don't micromanage. Can comfortably approach them with any roadblocks/issues and they are more than willing to step in and help. We're a mature start-up so we are established, but still growing like crazy. We are major players in our domain and just getting started! Because we are still growing, there is truly plenty of opportunity for growth in your career - whether you wanna stay on the IC track or get into Leadership/Management. Lots of advancement opportunities, and many people have been able to move up quickly too without waiting several years. The opportunity to make an impact - we cater our software products towards helping small businesses, and our products can legitimately help them with their bottom lines or any time/money constraints that many small businesses run into. so if you wanna work for a company/product that actually makes an impact (especially at the small/local level), you have the opportunity to do so here. The equity - we're already established and close to hitting "unicorn" status, so there is less risk than say an early stage start-up, but still the benefit of cashing in on some serious equity when we eventually IPO Hybrid environment - get the best of both worlds of remote and office life and the flexibility to choose when you want to come into the office

Cons

We are a start-up - things can change pretty quickly (which at times can be a positive thing - less red tape to get stuff done) so if you need a ton of structure then we may not be a good match We don't have the highest salaries as other tech SaaS companies, but I would say overall our compensation is still very solid. And the opportunity for advancement, the equity, the 4% 401k match, and all the other pros I mentioned can easily make up for that.

Pros

Excellent leadership, smart and humble coworkers, and a product that genuinely solves the challenges of real small business owners — great if you’re mission-focused. The company is also super well positioned to navigate the AI transition through smart internal bets and the scale we’ve already built.

Cons

We’re so ambitious! It’s important we pull back and focus on doing fewer things extremely well.

Pros

San Francisco office is conveniently located, clean and functional. Catered lunches Lots of opportunities to learn and apply AI Overall a stable and profitable company Competitive pay, okay benefits. Serves small businesses

Cons

Longstanding leadership still functions like it's a scrappy Series A and are not adapting to what an established mid-sized businesses needs. Comically unrealistic goals, seemingly no long-term strategy, and an obsession with “working fast”. The constant pivoting feels like spinning in place, not forward progress. Obvious good old boy club across the org. They will close ranks and sabotage revenue if they feel threatened by a woman. Middle managers are afraid to be honest with leadership about problems. Heads of departments don't know company-wide priorities. Get mad at ICs for following those priorities instead of jumping to their pet projects. Competitive, defensive, and cliquey environment. Trying to facilitate cross functional teamwork is met with suspicion and contempt.
