      Phenomenal growth, full of energy

      Pros

      A product that makes the world a better place, by empowering organizations to make data-driven decisions, in BI, in drug discovery, in scientific research, etc. Rapid growth company, probably the fastest for this stage of enterprise software company in Silicon Valley (and the world). A star, experienced executive team that has taken companies from zero to IPO before. All founders actively involved, maintaining the culture of the company.

      Cons

      Scaling challenges common to this stage of the growth Work can get hectic compared with more mature companies

      Pros

      One of the best teams I have ever worked with. Some of the brightest, most talented, and modest people I've ever met. The work is super interesting, and what we are doing is very exciting. The company is revolutionizing the data industry. We've hired the best people. And we have a very high chance of succeeding. This might be the best team I've ever worked with.

      Cons

      We all love what we do, it's s company of workaholics, we work a lot, no-one forces us to do this, but we are all committed to succeeding and we put in the time to make it happen.
