Pros

I can think of None

Cons

CEO hsve been lying to its investors and its employees to get access to more funds CEO an CFO have no moral character CEO and CFO have lied to clients about performance and accuracy Company cannot pay their sales commissions. Company accuracy is so low, applications do not work the way they say they do. Do not waste time on data from this company You will regret ever listening or trusting your fate to this company and its management. In the end, their senior management will trade their own sister or mother for personal gain. They will lie, and cheat to gain a buck from you. Do not trust them.

Pros

Allegedly well-funded; aggressively small team; the view is relatively nice; the elevators work; free coffee; personal desk; gulag-esque work atmosphere

Cons

Zero regard for well-being of employees, fundamental flaws in the product, complete charlatan of a CEO. If you are an investor, or, alternatively, you are potentially looking at this company as a next step in your career, run, run as fast as you can. Let me paint a picture. Imagine you're working your hands to the bone for more than 50 hours a week, the whole "first one in, last one out"-type deal. Imagine if you're exceeding your KPI's by 125%, then, suddenly, you're blindsided at 12Pm on a Friday afternoon with the announcement that you and the rest of the sales and marketing team are being let go due to a pivot. Imagine that this all transpires with zero warning, and, on top of that, the management team has the chutzpah to offer you one week's severance. Happy Holidays, to you too. This is all less than six months' removed from raising 12m in capital. Where did the money go? Why is such a pivot necessary? If the product is so downright deficient, why sell investors on a fraudulent data point (hint: 90% is an outright lie, and I invite anyone screaming "slander" to allow for discovery of said supporting documents in any suit)? Why hire a team based on a complete and total lie? CircleBack's offerings sound downright-peachy on paper, but the fact of the matter is that the products are no more accurate than a google search. Do you want contact data that was, maybe, accurate six months ago? Do you feel like indirectly sharing your data with dozens of your closest competitors? Boy, do I have an opportunity for you.

Pros

Smart people, good pay for a startup, very novel and powerful approach to the data business. They're very well funded as well. Everyone is extremely bright.

Cons

In multiple instances, they are very very quick to terminate employees (even by startup standards). There is no review, discipline, or improvement process. Several of my colleagues weren't even aware there was an issues until they had been 'let go' because of it.
