Pros

Exciting product, growing fast and interesting tech to work on. Good pay.

Cons

Very burnout-centric, and it's embraced as a culture. You won't have a manager who cares about you personally. There are no 1:1s, just a monthly performance assessment. A lot of tech debt with not-great plans on how to pay it back. Very few tests. High pressure to ship features quickly, but engineers are blamed when things don't work.

Pros

- Love that the entire team is truly encouraged to build (if you have a potential solution in mind, help make it happen) - The team is supportive and the culture overall is healthy: people are thoughtful, feedback is encouraged, and nearly everyone is customer-focused - Leadership balances the needs of the business with the needs of its people; transparency is strong here and decisions are clearly communicated.

Cons

Par for the course, but we've still got a lot to figure out as a company and product, so every day is working toward getting ourselves that clarity. Building new processes, defining what success looks like for us, and getting alignment across a growing team - all critical to our success and actively taking place!

Pros

I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of this comany - there's something truly special in the works! Support is seen as a strategic function across the company, not a cost center. Leadership is sharp, empathetic, and incredibly technical! The flexibility and trust in how you manage your time is real, and honestly it makes me want to contribute more. Great variety in the day-to-day work. Engineering ships fast, fixes bugs quickly, and cross-functional collaboration is strong. It's easy to see you're working alongside people that really care about making a difference, and following through! Multiple project opportunities and room to explore. AI is a growing part of the work, and there's space to carve your own path with it. I can't wait to see how the company continues to grow and become a household name in the CRM world!

Cons

Processes and tooling are still maturing. Comes with the territory at a fast-growing company. It's not really a con per se, just a part of being a startup. This also means there's opportunity to shape things, but it can feel like there are more ideas than hours in the day.
