The best place I've worked in my 27 years of technology!
Solutions Architect • Current Employee
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
February 10, 2021
Pros: The company is run by, operated by, and mostly staffed by visionaries and doers. The CEO can even write code and is super comfortable showing executives how easy it is to use the product. The openness/transparency within the organization is top notch – something I can only hope sticks around as we continue our growth. We've been able to keep the bar high and hire great people who turn out to be great team members, all resulting in a great and happy place to work.
Cons: With rapid growth comes growing pains. Sometimes, you have to ask around for an answer to something that's super new.
