Pros

They pay you. There are benefits. There is "unlimited" PTO.

Cons

Management seems focused on making the company look good on paper in the short term. They are constantly trying to force out new features on a short schedule, and also pinch pennies on employees. This results in products that employees have little or no confidence in, and high stress for the people doing the work. Management requires complete buy-in to SAFE from employees (including 3+ month advance PTO scheduling and PTO blackouts) but they demand additions to the PI almost as soon as the confidence vote has happened. When there is a budget shortfall they make up the difference with layoffs and offshoring, or by making benefits worse. Promotions outside of management are difficult to come by, and pay lags because of that. "Unlimited" PTO isn't actually unlimited. Benefits are bare minimum: 401k match is below average, insurance options are expensive for what you get

Pros

- The product was pretty good a well-liked by customers - Solid work/life balance - Every holiday under the sun was PTO

Cons

- Leadership did nothing when issues were brought to their attention and empty promises became the norm. - Unfair lead distribution and favoritism across the board, - Base pay is absurdly low for a closing role and is far less than most SDR roles start at. Makes me wonder how little Momentive is paying their actual BDR/SDRs. - Not possible self-source the pipeline coverage needed to make quota given the low deal size and transactional nature of the sale. - So many executive leadership changes it became hard to keep up. The latest iteration is completely out of touch and more serve as mouth-pieces for TA.
