Built for a startup like ours

The advice and recruit add ons need an active core plan, and performance and analytics are lighter than the mid market suites. It is clean and quick and our team actually uses it, which is about the only positive.

Pros

It is clean and quick and our team actually uses it.

Cons

The advice and recruit add ons need an active core plan.
