Pros

Decent base salary & benefits

Cons

Several strategies occuring at the same time, ran by Sales on one hand and by Marketing on the other hand. Unfortunately not the same strategies! One wants to make quality selling and take a diagnostic approach based on some interesting sales method currenlty out there, while the other team in charge of generating leads uses an Inside Sales approach that could eventually work if we were selling car insurance or office stationery but clearly not a cutting edge optimization software. It's a casting error and they will only realise it when the conversion rates are just not there.

Pros

- New product vision and strategy that builds on history of artificial intelligence and solving specific use cases - Incredible culture of collaboration and kind people who like to solve problems - Huge vision for growth that challenges the status quo and is willing to take risks and make mistakes - Remote first environment allows for flexibility - So many things are changing and opportunities for growth. If you can figure out a solution you can go after it which is a career trajectory changing opportunity.

Cons

- There has been a lot of change in the transformation and periods where it has been unclear of the path. Uncertainty and fast paced environment isnt for everyone. - Remote first environment is a pro but can be a challenge when driving change because things can get lost in translation

Pros

Amazing team members Great marketing leadership Highly intelligent people

Cons

Company is in a rapid decline. Multiple layoffs since November 2025, no real grasp on strategy. Sales and marketing are on complete different pages - marketing is working the new product, sales doesn't want to sell it (which is what they've been measured on) Amazing marketing leadership, but stay far away until the company can figure out what's next.
