It's a mess.

Pros

Smart co-workers, good tech stack, great in-office perks (if not remote.)

Cons

Any talk of values is lip service. No product-market fit, no demand for their software. Platform is long in the tooth and replacement is years overdue. Toxic, fear based culture run by micro-mangers. Average tenure for an AE is about 10 months. OTE and any goals are laughably unachievable. Revolving door of management. They like to brag about how "everything is new" but in reality everything is changing.... all the time. For the wrong reasons. I watched the following seats come and go in under 18 months: CEO, CRO, CFO, President, CMO, CEO (again), SVP of Sales, Director of Sales, Chief Sales Officer. (3) layoffs in that time. Similar struggles on the CS side of the business.

Poison Kool-Aid

Pros

The mountains are beautiful and your co-workers can be great but everyone spends their days hoping they will receive a call about a new job and looking longingly toward the weekend.

Cons

"Drink the kool-aid" they (literally) said. "It will be fun" they said. It's not. Have a different view on how things should run? If it's not "the PFL way" it won't be heard. Unrealistic expectations are put on you with little to no training and if you're just trying to do your job, you can't. Micromanaging it their specialty. The funniest part is they don't know how to manage. The rotating door of both customers and employees is constant and disheartening. The company itself is a good idea. The current management team? Not so much.

Pros

Some decent fellow employees - job could be okay if it wasn't for management and culture.

Cons

Facility: mouse infested, noisy open concept metal building. Management: There are no more unqualified people to lead than this hand picked group of yayhoos. Literally, you won't find worse, maybe just as bad but not worse. Lead by fear and deception - Have told middle management not to care about the people. It is a revolving door for people quitting and being hired - their solution is not to treat employees better to make them stay, but rather they decided we will try to keep them for a year and then just keep training new ones. This is an actual recent decision. CEO: creepy - if you are long legged and pretty, watch out. Cult member and micromanages the company as if it is his cult. Culture: Fear, Intimidation, Micromanagement and Communism. Training: If you are in sales - all you want. Direct Channel - some. If you are in the TMA division - good luck. Compensation: Average - better than other jobs in the area but not enough to live on - plan on having two jobs. Area: Beautiful but exploding - price of living is outrageous - you can't eat the scenery.
