As with any rapidly growing company, there can be occasional growing pains such as evolving processes and systems in a very fast-paced environment.

Pros

Friendly, professional culture -- people help each other out. Amazing innovation and pace in the product team -- product constantly evolving and improving and major new product areas captured each of the 3 years I've been here. Competitive pay and pre-IPO stock grants and liquidity.

Cons

The pace in this industry is fast and the tech landscape is wide and deep. To succeed in pre-sales you need to love to learn, be hands-on technical, and be able to manage a big todo list.

Pros

I still can't believe I work here... it is absolutely an amazing company to work for. From the compensation (better than FAANG), to the people (hardworking, smart, and kind), to the culture (100% transparency from the C-Suite and Ali), this company is a rocket ship. The product is stellar, the company is growing rapidly, and the customer stories are incredible. Can't recommend it enough!

Cons

As we grow at a breakneck pace, keep the bar for talent high and don't lower it. Quality over quantity.
