Polished onboarding

The HR advice line saved us during a tricky disciplinary. Only real gripe is that performance and analytics are lighter than the mid market suites.

Simple and well designed

Affordable for a small startup at the entry band. That said, performance and analytics are lighter than the mid market suites and you outgrow it as you get larger and more complex.

Pros

Affordable for a small startup at the entry band.

Cons

Performance and analytics are lighter than the mid market suites.
