Pros

highly growing environment, able to come in and learn a lot, most managers do not micro manage, you can get away with not doing much some days. You need to be a self learner and ambitious but you can get acquainted with a lot of new technologies and dev-ops skills without having much of a background or experience.

Cons

they will go to any length to please their customers and never say no. Customer escalate to VPs or the CEO and teams are forced to always stop everything and help those customers, regardless of the severity of the actual issue. They are understaffed, and on-call rotations can be very grueling

We pride ourselves on being Customer First - and we always want to do everything we can to ensure our customers are having a best-in-class experience. That said, we also place a huge emphasis on having the right processes, tools and support in place to ensure we're able to triage and escalate issues in a scalable, repeatable and appropriate way - without creating a chaotic environment for our employees.

It's unfortunate to hear about your experience. We are continually focused on equipping our managers with leadership development programming; by no means do we advocate or support a command and control environment. We encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner so we can better understand your concerns.
