Pros
Every team is brimming with ELITE talent unlike any other company I’ve ever worked for. This is our competitive advantage and the reason why we’re obliterating our competition, despite coming to market after them. Our execution across ALL TEAMS at ALL LEVELS is truly special, creating to a top notch product, sales and customer experience. The company is operationally mature for its age - we had a COO before employee 25 - and it’s paying dividends as we scale. To top it off our CEO is a masterful operator who has focused on the right things from day one, and our CTO is nothing short of a genius. Everyone loves our product and it’s the most fun thing I’ve ever sold. Compensation and benefits are great, although comp plans and quotas are ever evolving as business metrics accelerate.
Cons
We need to be sure we celebrate wins and achievements in a meaningful way. While we’re consistently overachieving, the emphasis on “super stretch” goals can be a little off-putting for some individual contributors. Personally I‘m okay with it, but I’m also cognizant that’s not the case across all teams or personality types. That said I do believe we’re improving here and recognize we’ve recently hired for roles that will help this, but we can still do better and need to make this a priority.
