Strong mentorship and good people; pay lags behind and maybe too bullish on AI

Pros
  • Very strong mentorship program
  • Very nice people
  • Some VERY good engineers, PMs, and designers
Cons
  • Pay isn't competitive outside of Utah (but hey, at least we're hiring)
  • Like most other companies at our size, your success and satisfaction largely depend on the team you're on
  • Sales and product/eng could probably be better aligned to inform product decisions
  • Like most other SaaS companies, we're investing A LOT into AI. This could bite us in the future (I personally think we're in a bubble, and the consequences of over-investing will be very painful once it bursts)
Advice to Management

Don't just throw money and people at the wall when it comes to AI. Instead, focus on the customers, always. If they're asking for more AI features, great! Try to meet their demand. If they're not, don't try to match feature parity with competitors no matter how tempting and easy it is to do so.
