Pros

Company prospects are strong. Incredible business model and fantastic growth. CEO is humble, intelligent and compassionate. Leads by example. Great company culture.

Cons

Nothing specific, but of course the company is going from a transition from being super small and nimble to being a more established startup and is learning how to deal with that. Some people are finding the transition harder than others. But not a big deal.

Transition presents challenges, but it's often where we find the most opportunity. I think the growth phase is the most exciting time in a company's life. It's not always smooth, but it's always worth it, and the team and culture that has made us successful so far will continue to be our biggest competitive advantage.

Pros

I have been with the company for almost 2.5 years in sales (which is a lifetime in the Bay Area). I still am just as excited to go to work today as I was on day one. We have changed a lot and had plenty of ups and downs but there's no place I'd rather be. We operate as a team and support each other no matter what the situation. Leadership is strong and opportunities to advance still exist. That's all good stuff for a company entering its 8th year.

Cons

Management has become quite layered over time. What used to take 5 minutes to get approval on now takes a couple days. Sometimes communication breaks down between those layers. This is all part of the natural progression from start up to big boy company.

Great reminder. I love the scrappiness that we all have at this stage. It's a big part of our DNA and I don't ever want to lose that. With more offices, more leaders and more people, we do have to stay creative about how to connect. I'll continue listening and sharing openly. And I want employees to continue to feel like they can come to me and our other leaders any time - layers should not limit connection. Thanks for the reminder.

Pros

I'm surrounded by some very talented people across the org from Top down. The culture is amazing and I do truly enjoy coming into the office everyday. We are changing the recruiting landscape and it's exciting to be a part of this explosive growth.

Cons

With Explosive Growth comes challenges. We are being pulled in a lot of directions, have too many meetings and e-mails. Favorites can get away with not having to attend or participate in events which can be frustrating.

Glassdoor Response

With explosive growth comes challenges. And opportunities. The next year will present a lot of opportunity for us to rethink how we do things and make sure we're able to stay nimble and open while moving quickly. Favoritism won't help us, nor will any distracting behaviors that aren't part of what makes our culture special. I encourage you to address situations like this with your manager/leader. And of course, you can always come to me.
