Pros

- Product that users love - Employees get free use of the product

Cons

- Product decisions are made with zero input from engineering - Deadlines are continually forced on teams by the leadership team - Features pushed out to meet deadline are often broken, incomplete and teams are forced to move onto the next feature - Burnout is a real issue in engineering - Culture of the entire company has been in decline, CEO brings a bro-culture and we're hiring more and more people that align with that mentality - Clear disinterest in bringing benefits that matter to employees - free ClassPass membership is often touted as the prime benefit, meanwhile no 401K matching or any interest in it despite a large funding round

Pros

There's some nice benefits, like ClassPass credits, good insurance, and remote.

Cons

First and foremost, if you're a POC, you need to stay far away from this place. There is absolutely no diversity, and majority of the sales org, including the leaders, are white women. The managers lack skill, and don't know how to sell or manage. They only became managers because of their connections or because they were there in the early days of ClassPass and stayed long enough to get promoted. Nothing based on merit or skill. The sales culture is very churn and burn. The retention rate is so low, and this company is like a revolving door. You become a "veteran" or senior employee if you have worked there longer than 4 months. They have extremely unrealistic goals for the sales org, and the leads are awful. And it's because the company is terrible, and doesn't invest in partner services or support, so gyms and salons tend to have a bad experience because the resources and support they have for them are abysmal. Not to mention the bad reputation that ClassPass has; if you call a lead that has been called before, you will get extremely frustrated owners. They will tell you that ClassPass reps are harassing them by constantly calling, but that is what you are taught to do as a rep. To wrap it all up, there is no diversity, incompetent leaders, and bad reputation.
