Pros
- benefits have improved overtime e.g. medical and insurance really have improved - great colleagues - product is really one of the best and easy - nice office and great parties and celebration - good work life balance (depends on which dept you're and how stretched or lean is the team) - you really learn a lot. It's a premium product so foundation wise, you're learning all the necessary skills. Generally helpful colleagues and team members - career progression - at least you can switch departments within Braze.
Cons
- Lunch credits is not cut down to in-office lunches once a week. If you talk about sustainability, credits it's gonna make more sense. Sometimes food wastage. - salary and compensation from IC to manager so far has been severely far from industry benchmark, even though addressed it many times - different teams in sales have different "difficulty" of quota to achieve. E.g. AE quota is unrealistic in certain market, BDR quota can be challenging due to market nuance also and relying on AE on deal size for commission - limited career progression, relies on headcount. So be patient or just find other roles if you're desperate - No room for internal negotiation. - overly hiring headcount for other departments that doesn't make sense? E.g. 5 people in HR/People team with no clear understanding of what each role do. All passing inquiries around when all a manager needs is to solve a problem asap regarding people.
