      Pros

      - Supportive work environment; nearly every person is positive, kind, energetic, and collaborative. - Work culture has a lot of appetite for changing and improving; people aren't afraid to suggest and try new things that make work and life better. - Lots of incentive to learn; high L&D budget, managers support training and coaching. - Lots of care about diversity and inclusion, the company may not be the very best at being diverse and inclusive yet but there is a very strong spirit to learn, improve, and uplift people who advocate for d&i, and overall the culture is great. - C-team is generally humble, thoughtful, communicative, approachable, and competent. - Product is genuinely really cool and works well.

      Cons

      - Engineering culture could be better; it's improving and continuing to get better over time, though. eg having better training for managers so that they can support their teams very well, having more consistent processes across teams. Engineering culture is not the most mature I've worked at yet but is moving in the right direction, and it's ok for a startup. - The product sits in a very competitive space so engineering needs to move very fast to keep the product performing the best of all its competitors, eg dropping projects that aren't finding market fit, occasionally pivoting, trying new things that upend a quarterly plan. Not necessarily a con (many people find this exciting and normal startup behaviour) but something to be aware of because you need to stay on your toes, you can't just coast.

      Thank you for taking the time to feedback. Really pleased to see the positive feedback on supportive work environment and positive work culture. We're investing in manager training and are launching 2 new modules of manager training later this year which all managers which attend in person. We hope this will give a better template for what good looks like, and best support in this area. If you did want to discuss any of this, please reach out to any member of the people team.

      Pros

      The company culture Flexibility for those not living near HQ Work incentives The customers we work with

      Cons

      Sometimes, being we have employees around the globe, there are tough barriers for communicating in a timely manner... but, this is with most international b2b organizations.

      Pros

      It's great to get sell a world class product that WOWs people in every demo. The team is supportive of one another, NO POLITICS and fun. Unfortunately I'm remote so I only get to have fun vicariously as I see invites for all I'm missing. We actually listen to customers and work with them for success. It's a great place to learn knowing you'll be supported even if you make a mistake.

      Cons

      Like many companies our size, we are busy putting scalable processes in place to make us more efficient. Being remote, sometimes it's hard to stay up on what's happening in the office. These process improvements are doing a lot to make this better.
