Bad company till the day that it dies!

Pros

Ok technology Everybody in the company is a GTM expert (heavy sarcasm!)

Cons

Absolutely terrible management team and culture. High ego, low maturity founders who have very limited business sense but still intrude in every single aspect of the company. Micromanagement on steroids prevails and the atmosphere is stifling. This is a textbook case of narcissistic engineers thinking they know everything and running the business to the dirt. In the end, the results show. The company has severely struggled to scale after close to 5 years in existence. But there is still plenty of talk about making AWS, GCP, Red Hat irrelevant. One of the other reviewers has even posted about getting to an IPO. Seriously? IPO? There is a small matter of revenue that seems to have been forgotten. Yes, startups have to fake it till they make it but cmon! Don’t join unless you want to just do what you are told or you are a masochist who would love to experience a Theranos like environment.

Fantastic products, but huge issues with leadership

Pros

The product and market opportunities are great

Cons

I think going forward these guys are going to have a hard time growing if management stays the same. The founders are all engineers who found themselves in leadership roles, and try really hard to act like business leaders. Yet, sadly they are stuck in an engineer's mindset, and are stubborn and keep on insisting on strategies that don't work. Insecurity and lack of trust basically runs through the system. You don't know if what you are told is true. The CEO is not empowering other leaders to do their job and keeps clawing back control. There is a lot of overstepping happening from high level in other teams.
