Vantaggi
Talented and dedicated people. Truly innovative technology with an enthusiastic core client base. Great place to learn and grow, and you do have quite a bit of autonomy to do your job. Good benefits, industry-average compensation (not great, but not bad).
Svantaggi
FiscalNote is overall a really innovative and talent-filled company, unfortunately if FN was in the "growing up" stage of its startup life before, now they are firmly in the "angsty teen trying to figure out who they are" startup stage and, tbh, it's not a good look. There seems to be an emphasis on getting revenue through the door "no matter what" rather than sustainable growth, which causes a rift between new sales and the other business units who get to clean up their mess after a sale has been closed. There's zero transparency with regard to product/company direction, having been told for the most part the same thing in different variations since the CQ acquisition with little tangible progress outside of some "nifty" new product features. Most departments are still being run by people who started with FN when the company was much smaller, and, unfortunately, it feels like relationships get in the way of holding certain employees accountable. Not to sound too cliche, but as a company that operates in a relationship driven industry, FN's greatest resource is it's employees and this is rarely recognized by leadership except for the occasional ra-ra speech when it feels like morale is getting low.
