Pros

Remote work, decent benefits, and some people are truly amazing

Cons

It's a shame that the culture has gotten as bad as it has. Unfortunately they don't want to change. Instead they are okay with talent walking out the door. There needs to be a study on the number of women, especially brown and black women who have left the company and the people team doesn't need to to the study as they too have people dropping like flies. Someone needs to find out why people leaving. Too many leaders who have grown up in the company without being required to understand the work. They just move people around to teams they shouldn't be leading because they been there a long time and people know their name. This place is by far the worst place I've worked in a long time.

Pros

Positive Culture: The people and immediate team members are genuinely kind, collaborative, and supportive. Work-Life Flexibility: A true 100% remote work environment that offers great day-to-day flexibility. Solid Perks on Paper: The benefits package explicitly includes an unlimited PTO policy.

Cons

The "Unlimited PTO" Trap: While the company advertises unlimited PTO, it is impossible to take without penalty. If you take time off, you are still strictly required to make up every single call you missed while you were gone to hit your monthly metrics. Declining Direction & High Turnover: The company has faced a very rough year and is heading in the wrong direction. Morale is incredibly low, and talent is actively draining from the organization—several people are resigning entirely, going on medical leave due to stress, or desperately trying to transfer to different internal teams. Unrealistic, Extreme CSM Metrics: Customer Success Managers are being pushed to the brink by unattainable, rigid KPIs. The role has shifted from strategic relationship management to a high-volume, transactional grind. Current monthly expectations include: 80 calls per month 76% connected call rate for low-usage accounts 50% engagement rate required for at-risk accounts Stagnant Compensation: Despite the extreme increase in workload, micromanagement, and pressure, the annual raise for CSMs this year was under 2%, which fails to align with basic cost-of-living adjustments.
