Pros

Great colleagues, good pay, volunteer opportunities

Cons

Executive management comes and goes and with that lots of changes. You get into a role and have a goal but then you end up with a new manager and it all changes. Upper management sends out surveys, and addresses a few items, but isn't really listening to the bigger issues. In small teams, colleagues are afraid to be honest because it isn't hard to figure out who said what.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
