What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are sleeves rolled up, leading from the front
Practical, thought leadership and inclusive
Review from HR Dept
They are very Down to earth
Review from HR Dept
Very open communication and culture of leading from the front
Our leadership team is accessible, let me start there. They are available to help close deals, or help with challenging customers. They provide constant communication on the direction of the company as well as our financial outlook, which is a real plus.
Review from Customer Support Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leadership goals do not match Feel like they play politics with the resources Dont treat employees as individuals
Review from Engineering Dept
Telling the truth, not treating employees like children
They need to listen to the people they hire. They hire people as experts and then take all the decision making power from them. They are constantly fighting fires with no real strategy. People are burnt out and if you try to speak up, you will be out the door.
Review from Marketing Dept
Communication, leadership, guidance. Actually manage employees. Improve onboarding
Leadership thinks they own your and does not care about employee work/life balance.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan is the best!
Good base salary and bonus is paid out during mid years
Review from Operations Dept
Not an extensive response, but we get something which is nice.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Better 401K would be helpful
Increase in the number of stocks is desired. But increase in the base salary is must needed. The base salary is too low and not great due to the HCOL in bay area.
Review from Engineering Dept
Industry benchmarking is needed at this point in time.
Review from Customer Success Dept
Get comparable pay like other employees
With growth comes expectations. But those expectations are done at a non macro level. The peanut butter spread quota doesn't apply in all accounts and territories. Big changes in compensation has always been a negative impact on employees that have been here the longest. Retention is not a thing
What are some of the best things about your team?
Smart and ruthless in finding solutions

It was an interview process. Tough, not meant to be enjoyable.
Review from Engineering Dept
The interviewers were direct. The recruiter was very direct and honest. She helped the process a lot
Review from Engineering Dept
I liked how there was a technical and panel round. A great way to divide the two parts.
Review from Sales Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Need to get a person through in 6 weeks or less. It took many monthts.
Don't do 8 interviews with someone. It's unfair on there time and you should know in 4 maximum if the person is right or not.
Review from Marketing Dept
Too much beaurocracy. We are missing out on great talent
It is to long, to many interviews
Have more of a structure. Random people get chosen to interview sometimes, and there's little structure or prep

Review from Customer Success Dept
Workload is crazy sometimes! We have amazing people and a meaningful mission though to balance
Review from Engineering Dept
Poor leadership kills morale, kills the passion that employees bring to their role, and eventually creeps outside your company walls into every single customer transaction.
Review from Operations Dept
New leadership came in full of arrogance and brought all their cronies ( even when they weren’t qualified) and have basically destroyed the culture and morale. Employees are leaving in droves....low
