Reviews from current employees
Our team is full of talented individuals with different backgrounds. I feel like we are all committed to helping each other out, jumping in when someone needs something and they are also funny, easy to work with and great people.
I think the pay is fair and within market. The variable opportunity is also fair and is incentivizing to drive performance.
We are a fully-remote organization with a few exceptions. I am used to working from home and comfortable managing my schedule and reaching out when I need something. The people here are really passionate about what we do and building great products and taking care of our customers.
