Pros

Great pay and can negotiate to top of band in the market. Product is great and will continue to be highly relevant moving forward. Most team members are smart but everyone keeps to themselves and their immediate team. The only reason you would want to work here is so you can earn top dollar, but at the expense of everything else that you would want in a good working environment that other tech companies offer

Cons

Culture is becoming toxic and turning into an AWS shop. There's very little regard for employees and managers are mostly incompetent. Immature sales leadership behaviour of beratement, aggression and sarcasm is tolerated. Team members are disengaged and most waiting to cash out once the company goes public

Pros

- great people - amazing product that sells itself once people get their hands on it - innovative company - decent ote and benefits

Cons

- comp plan this year for hunters is not aligned with company strategy of focusing on larger, multi-year commits. it incentivizes quantity of deals vs. quality of deals, and payouts on commit $$$ are peanuts.
