Pluspunten

*Work with fun friendly people *Fun office with team lunches and nerf basketball, snacks and drinks provided and a great atmosphere *An exciting product that is truly useful to the clients. Diverse travel opportunities across the U.S. and around the globe. *Top level management that is available, and really listens to everyone. *Great Benefits (Medical and Dental are outstanding and not costly) *Highly flexible PTO benefits

Minpunten

*Extremely rapid growth means that company structure changes often and can lead to confusion. *Heavy workloads and long hours are expected regularly. Former "slow times" are disappearing meaning there are rarely breather periods. *Poor communication about product feature changes can leave PM's not always knowing what the app is capable of. (This issue was getting better just before I left, but still not perfect) *Department silos meant there was some, but not much room for advancement in the company.

Pluspunten

Decent pay I would say

Minpunten

Unsustainable Workload & Non-Existent Work-Life Balance: "Heavy workloads and long hours are expected regularly" is an understatement. As a customer support employee, you're constantly fighting fires, often for a product that feels "under developed" or "requires a PhD to be used properly". I frequently worked late nights and weekends, with little to no break during "busy seasons" (which felt like all the time). The company seems to have a "churn and burn" mentality with employees, operating under the impression that we won't stay more than a year or two anyway. Lack of Management Support & High Turnover: There is no proper HR department to address employee concerns, and management is often described as "old-school and controlling". If you complain about being overwhelmed, you're likely to be "labeled as unable to handle the pressure and next in line for termination". The high turnover rate means you're constantly picking up the slack from those who have left, creating a vicious cycle of burnout. Poor Internal Communication & "Culture of Fear": Communication between departments is terrible, with "department silos" creating a "blame game" when things go wrong. The CEO's management style fosters a "culture of fear," with some employees even mentioning "micro-managing and mental abuse" as a day-to-day occurrence. This creates an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional office environment. Product Issues: Supporting a product that isn't fully tested or user-friendly is incredibly frustrating. We often had to rely on "crappy workarounds" to help clients, which made the support process much harder than it needed to be.
