Pros

-Great Product that truly sells itself (partners also do a lot of selling on your behalf). -pay is reasonable (note that I was an external hire) -A lot of nice teammates willing to help, especially when you're new -Remote work is flexible

Cons

- A lot of managers don't seem to even care about their team members. They rarely reach out proactively, to even check up on them members. They really only care about the number at the end of the day. -Super impersonal culture. To provide an example, Teams Meetings are for the most part always camera off. There isn't opportunity to collaborate with other members of different teams. There aren't any departmental group sales training sessions which are normally incredibly valuable for learning the product -Onboarding is horrendous. You watch a week of videos and then you are thrown into the fire. Did not receive any support from my manager in training at all. -Remote work can lead to lack of motivation at times.

Pros

Bottom level management is flexible, trying to earn more benefits for employee. Team culture is good, most teams have a shared vision that a technical problem is a technical one, not a political one (i.e. not trying to dodge responsibility in order to avoid punishment once it fails). Meeting is minimal (10-20 mins each day mostly, this is team-specific, but generally it's similar for most backend teams) work-life balance is great. Insurance coverage is great.

Cons

Top executives apparently care more about the stock prices than the company's real performance. They try to squeeze budget to make the chart prettier, which indeed sabotages the productivity. Paid is lower than similar companies. They're pushing RTO policy, not remote friendly.
