Pros

Knowledgeable, helpful coworkers is the best part about this company. Employee benefits are a plus point.

Cons

I wonder why ELT gets to assess and judge other people when their own performance and ways of working are clearly lacking for years at a stretch. Every 6 months, there is a new story - a new product introduction or AI is coming or branding or pricing magic or RIF or focus on mid market or hire new leaders that will change the trajectory - the result : growth has gone backwards in the last 4 years and churn has gone up. Also we are not the only company with hard macroeconomic conditions. Leaders with self-respect would step out of the way when they repeatedly err and are not able to command respect or lead by example. Always blaming folks under you is not a strategy that lasts. or maybe it will in this company given Clearlake (our investor) is clueless about what transpires.

Thanks for sharing this; it's great to hear your positive outlook on our leadership and vision as that’s something we really care about. There can be challenges that come along with acquisitions, especially when it comes to aligning products and culture. While these decisions are made to support growth and long-term success, they don’t always feel seamless in the moment. Again, I appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you all the best. -Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer

Pros

The people by far were the reason I stayed at the company for so long. Working with people who helped be part of the solution rather than part of the problem was exciting and fun. Working to solve issues together and collaboratively supporting each other was a great way to drive cross functional collaboration and success,

Cons

Senior leadership is a constant turnover with consistent pivots in strategy and direction before there was time to test if something was working. WIth consistent reductions in force, teams have found it hard to stay motivated and unclear as to what the current strategy is. Decisions are made with little context or reasoning to the middle management layer which causes dissatisfaction across the frontline teams. Comp plans were often delayed, incorrectly paid and something we had to spend a ton of time figuring out if we were getting paid correctly or missing something.
