Pros

You will get free snacks ,drinks, lunch etc. Timing is flexible - different people come at different times

Cons

I joined this company because I was shown a very very rosy picture. How they are changing the world, ending unemployment and are on track to be the best thing since sliced bread. I did inquire about all the bad reviews on glassdoor but was told that these are "growing pains" and the new management is making changes and reacting. Its been little less than year since than and NOTHING has changed. Look for yourself and you will see there are still the same reviews and the same answer. I have given up hope that we will see any change and am moving on. I have been a self starter all my life and need very little direction to make an impact but I find it hard to operate here as the company and my team's goals keep changing. Its not a small change that bothers me but indecisiveness where course is changed at the last minute and then begins the blame game and finger pointing. I know I am not alone as majority of the employees have left or are leaving. Smart ones leave soon and some like me stay on in the hope of change but eventually leave. I have learnt my lesson and I am out of here !

Run Away!

Pros

No real pros here. Basic perks such as catered lunch ( not all 5 days ) - 401k matching

Cons

You will never be set up for success. You are much better working for a large org in which you would have stability and equivalent upside. Or you can work for a any other start up which will have a much larger upside. Work here if you don't have any other option but get out in 6 months max. Most people are doing that. The turn over is huge here.

Pros

Great coworkers and lots of flexibility.

Cons

Imagine the CEO having the audacity to come on our company town hall and tell us everything is fine, just to let go of directors, AE’s, presales people, and even SDR’s. Individuals accounts started being deactivated in a hush hush manner, and when brought up leadership said they didn’t know what was going on. Unbelievably cold, getting rid of people who had been there for years, with no regard to merit. For a hiring success company, the recent layoffs were a dismissal example to set and I wouldn’t touch this company with a ten foot pole.
