Pros

CEO Renalud is an amazing entrepreneur.

Cons

Company has become too political for such a small engineering team. No clear sense of direction right now. Focusing too much on UI for a 5 page app. Doesn't care about employees career. Believe in hiring from outside especially if you are or were previously in salesforce. Company should focus on adding new products and make use of their leadership in this space. Instead they are focussing on scalability which they dont really need right now and for quite some foreseeable time. Even if we assume they need scalability, then they should keep their products separate. Thats horizontal scalability right there.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
