Cons

Quotas impossible to hit, have burned almost all accounts with 1000 emails, no innovation on product - LinkedIn and Indeed crush them. Terrible office location. Shouldn’t have been hiring so many people just to lay them off

Pros

The people in this company are solid. There is a really good mission and a product that people need. Really important to provide people with all the information about the jobs that they are going to take. The company as a whole takes care of their employees and were early with work from home options and providing flexible options to work.

Cons

The company as a whole is still having trouble switching from start up to larger stable organization. Strategy is a moving target and there is a lingering legacy leadership with Robert and Ryan that have not let go of the company and are holding it back somewhat. Christian (CEO) is still directed by Robert and doesn't really have a handle on the new product needs. Overall the company is still very much focused on business needs to the detriment of the users. There have been many key people to leave recently and there might be more.
