- Incredible team - super smart, motivated people with a strong growth mindset. When trying to build something special it's key that the right people are involved and pulling in the same direction and so far Instabase has this nailed. - Supportive culture - everybody genuinely cares about each other and their development, and are open to honest, constructive feedback to make things better. - Very open executive team - weekly company-wide "Ask Me Anything" sessions have been extremely candid and eye opening. - Great scope for progression and the opportunity to shape the company, as long as you are willing to get involved. - Experienced sales leadership executing on a world class playbook. - Huge potential to be a game changing software company.

Cons

Interview process is a challenge - if you're looking for an easy life then it's not the place for you.

Pros

Many employees are talented, collaborative, and committed to doing good work despite challenging circumstances. There are opportunities to take ownership and gain experience in a fast-moving environment.

Cons

The company struggles with fundamental leadership and execution issues. There is a lack of clear strategy, consistent direction, and alignment at the leadership level, which leads to frequent priority changes and ineffective execution. Leadership accountability appears limited, while expectations for employees continue to increase alongside ongoing headcount reductions. This has created a high-pressure environment without the structure or support needed to succeed. Organizational processes are underdeveloped for a company at this stage, resulting in inefficiencies and repeated rework. Retention is a concern, with frequent turnover impacting team stability and morale. There are also cultural concerns, particularly around inclusivity and respect. Representation in leadership is limited, and there is a clear opportunity to build a more inclusive and equitable environment. Additionally, there is a noticeable disconnect between external messaging and internal reality, including company size, stability, and overall business momentum.
