Pros

They allow you to work from home

Cons

Micromanaging Culture. Poor work life balance. Management will contact you all hours of the day, even during PTO Zero training Poor company financial management Minimal opportunity for advancement Leadership is not transparent Sales regularly promises features that haven’t been built. You’ll be expected to work 60-70 hours per week to make these features appear out of thin air with no market research. Leadership regularly makes promises they don’t keep. We were told a company retreat would be our reward for our hard work. It never happened. In orientation, we were told we could expect up to a 10% bonus based on performance. Try 2.5%. Vested stock options? You don’t get those if they lay you off. There was heavy pressure in the recruiting process to accept the role. Company is poorly managed and lacks directional strategy. Decisions are made based on the CEO’s whims or whatever Sales has most recently told a potential client, both of which rarely translate into profit. Most of our clients appeared thoroughly dissatisfied with the product as it did not live up to the functionality they expected. It was demoralizing to catch the flack for leadership’s poor decision making on such a regular basis

I wanted to take a few minutes to respond to your review. While some of the data points you listed are not accurate, we realize that it’s coming from a place of disappointment. We understand. We have always sought to make prudent business decisions to balance workforce capacity and performance with market conditions and stakeholder expectations. As we continue to grow and learn more about these influencing factors, we will continue to do our best to be good stewards of our resources. Sometimes those decisions are easy and other times they are extremely difficult, particularly this time of year. Regardless, we sincerely wish you all the best in the next phase of your career.
