Pros

Remote Work Smart and generous people

Cons

- Constant push to sell customers credits and AI use case even if it doesn't fit what they're looking for. No real purpose for CSMs other than that - Culture within the company has deteriorated due to a revolving door in upper management and ridiculous leading indicators - Transitioned the CSM role from being world class service helping customers across multiple aspects of their business to a glorified call center - No relief from metrics and you truly do feel like a number on a spreadsheet - Little to no internal career growth. When a manger role opens up, it's extremely competitive

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
