      Grinding to help company go public without reward

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good business outlook for the company. There is a lot of speculation and hopes for an IPO soon, assuming we actually get something out of it.

      Cons

      No stock options or RSUs... yes you read that right. A Bay Area tech company with no stock incentive for employees. Total Comp is pitiful compared to companies in the area... your peers at other tech companies are making 50%+ higher salaries than you on the basis of stock grants alone. Everyone's holding out hope that management will do right by us during an IPO.... if not there will be a big race to the door.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Work from home. 2. Overall positive and pleasant atmosphere in the company. 3. Platform for the most part works. 4. New CMO has done an awesome job revitalizing the brand and company.

      Cons

      1. Exec team is 100% focused on an IPO. They need you to be successful so they get their stock payout. 2. No stock plan for employees, large stock options available to execs with zero given to long term employees that have helped steer and drive their current success. 3. Failed to inspire any great sales SVP's to join. 4. Small time CFO is focused on costs, I had my sales compensation plan changed twice mid year - I beat the new rules and the second set of even more restrictive rules. Their CFO decided not to pay my full comp agreed in my contract. But instead what they felt was "fair". This is not how sales works, nobody cares about helping sales when we arent performing. 5. Current CEO and majority of engineering/product management are all old friends going back a long way, probably best to avoid the engineering org as you will be unable to grow above this team of execs. 6. Outsourced a lot of development to India, the quality of releases is as you'd expect.

      Pros

      None that is worth mentioning

      Cons

      Nepotism bordering on racism, zero career growth opportunities. They bring in offshore resources for the professional services in order to stifle growth and keep salaries down. Partner companies are promoted heavily. Being private makes them even less attractive to work for with reduced benefits, no RSUs or ESPPs to look forward to replace zero raises
