      Stay away from this sinking ship

      Pros

      Fully remote work is a plus

      Cons

      Constant firings of VPs and SVPs and Directors Politics of survival (introduced by above as there is no safety) Clueless executives (introduced by above as new ppl with zero industry experience are being hired to replace old timers) Business model dying out (remote work peaked and is shrinking with all Back To Office policies) CEO and top executives have NO real strategy left... they tried everything from international expansion to becoming a payment service to becoming some form of an AI platform.. and failed in all.

      Looks good from the outside but it's chaos on the inside

      Pros

      Remote work and competitive salary.

      Cons

      High turnover and bad leadership. No one knows what's going on or who to go to for what because people keep leaving. There's no process to get work done so no one is set up for success. There's also no upward mobility and the morale is low. Don't think this company will sustain, they're going to fold.

      Pros

      Only positive is the people

      Cons

      Literal DUMPSTER FIRE! Compensation is way too low. But if you want to go back to being a 25 yr old SDR and make 250 dials/emails a week by all means this job is for you. The processes are terrible. They will tell you amazing numbers in the interview process...it's all a lie. 6 people hit quota in 2022. 4 of those people have recently left the organization. Their outlook is terrible...Oh and they just sent sevy agreements out to the 137 people they laid off last week and just rescinded them. The change: lowered the severance amount by $5k! Literally a bunch of idiots.
