Pros

I made some great friends working here, and learned the most about what bad management really looks like.

Cons

-this company is exclusively built around data and sales, if you're not helping sell the product, you are not worth anyone's time. (and you will be told that) -management is super manipulative, and they call it "helpful advice" -turnover is HIGH, and its not because startup culture isn't for everyone, its the fact you don't feel like a human being at the end of the day. You will be overworked, and underpaid, and told that's your value -company values are a complete joke as C-suite team tells you how to operate, and does the exact opposite -bully culture is real here, and so are favorites In my time at this company, I found out what true depression was, and a lot of it stemmed from the treatment I was given by several managers who said to me they cared about my well-being. Since my departure I spoke with many former colleagues in various departments here who had very similar experiences. It wasn't about company growing pains, it was their direct lack of knowing how to manage anything.

Pros

None- Avoid this company at all costs.

Cons

Leaving this company came with the same relief as leaving a toxic relationship. The absolute delusion and arrogance of the leadership team that they are in any way effective is ASTOUNDING. I have never witnessed such a group underhanded, and unethical "Leaders". They care nothing about their employees, gaslight them, and take no responsibility for the fact that they have no idea how to manage, or foster a healthy or effective culture. They tote their precious "VALUES" and don't live any of them, it's complete lip service. The joke of the company is that while they sit on their thrones and congratulate each other for being the masters of their universe, the only thing they are actually accomplishing is running the company into the ground. Our customers know that our products are ineffective, and they're constantly contacting customer support angry and exhausted by the fact that nothing works. This is by far the most dysfunctional and toxic company I have ever worked for. They sell you a bag of goods during the interview process, and don't deliver on any of it. In addition, Bonus payout dates are constantly moved so they can avoid paying them. Don't believe anything they tell you in interviews, read Glassdoor, and steer clear of applying because every negative description on this page is true.
