Vantaggi
The salary is comparable to other tech salaries. Remote-first company. Engineering team was once very admirable.
Svantaggi
Community hired too many senior level executives who didn't have a clue where to take the company or how to strategically position the company in the SMS market. To this day, there are still many people on the payroll who I don't know what they do for the company, yet they they get paid handsomely to hop on a Zoom and monopolize all the time. Nepotism and favoritism are rampant. There was a complete lack of transparency in terms of fundraising and employee equity and the company laid off upwards of 25% and 30% of its staff multiple times during my tenure. The growth and revenue team are consistently given unattainable targets, the marketing team is a revolving door, and people just complain about other people on Slack all day. In terms of culture, the work-life balance was negatively affecting my mental health, but maybe they'll send you a candle or hat for your extra hours.
