Vantaggi

- Lots of great institutional knowledge (long term employees) - speaks to the foundational culture, opportunities for growth, belief in the product. - Growth mindset comes from the top down. Encouraged to ask questions, take ownership. - Impressive high performers especially in Sales, Prod & Engineering - Customers genuinely love the product. Lots of long term customers, lots of referrals, lots of enthusiasm. Product is beautiful and only getting better. I don't have it at my new company (yet!) and I'm truly lost without it. - Benefits (US focused) have gone through iterations and thoughtful revisions over the years. Things like Distance Days (1x/month) for personal time are fantastic. - Strong performers can find new roles, opportunities within the company if they play it right. - Generally, a transparent culture with one big team feeling - Genuine belief in the mission and opportunity

Svantaggi

- Some prod/market fit issues persist. Still trying to find balance between reacting to and driving the market. Everyone needs solutions for the problems they're trying to solve and nothing is perfect, the financials need to work too, etc etc. - A few of the new people (including team leads) they've brought in are not good culture fits or are changing the culture in a negative way. Hopefully the longer term crowd will prevail. - Stock options are nowhere near generous (or lucrative) for employees at this point

Vantaggi

I'm still new here, one month in. But I've had an outstanding experience so far. I sell a forward thinking product that solves real problems for organizations looking to communicate more effectively with their workforce. The leadership from the CEO on down seems genuinely interested in my success, the success of the overall team, and the customers using or considering using Firstup products.

Svantaggi

I was initially hesitant to join this company because the Glassdoor reviews here were horrendous. Before I accepted the offer, I had a heart to heart with the hiring manager, CRO, and an account executive. And I'm so glad I did. They didn't make excuses about the low ratings. They explained how a year ago this company had some toxic leadership and people left. Since then, new leadership has taken over, and even though I didn't experience the "toxic days", I can tell things here are quite different. Just goes to show how critical leadership is to a company's culture and overall success. I don't regret joining Firstup at all.
