Great platform, smart execs, crappy management

Pros

The platform vision is brilliant, sure to be a disruptor in the market (if it isn't already) Smart engineering team, some real field talent including sellers, SA's etc. Good pay & benefits

Cons

The field management is some of the worst I've seen. Lots of power tripping managers whose main skill is sucking up to their seniors, and in turn the managers are "protected" which means they can get away with unprofessional behavior and treating even the best performers on their team like crap. Rampant favoritism which means IC's who are amongst the lowest performing in terms of metrics get promotions and access to opportunities before better performing members on their team. Lots of script-based hacks to get the platform working properly (lookup Databricks workspace migration as an example), lack of seamless UX and integrated admin workflows across the platform, which are key to enterprise adoption.

Pros

The company culture is quite transparent and the talent here is impressive.

Cons

As the company is getting big and gaining customers, we are internally introducing a bunch of processes which can get overwhelming sometimes.
