Pros

Incredible potential to create a scalable high performing platform for Cloud Automation , operations and management.

Cons

Cronyism in middle management in Enterprise and Professional services. Oracle and SAP transplanted "in your face" leadership style causing low morale and higher attrition rates. Poor communication and excessive inter group politics for such a small group.

Pros

Good compensation, exciting work, nice culture (mostly). While they accept WFH, they prefer you to be in the office.

Cons

You have to be in charge of your work/life balance. Because they no longer offer vacation as a benefit, it is easy to not take it.

We strive for work-life integration, where our people feel comfortable making decisions when it comes to more fluidity in defining workspaces and allowing space for work or life to easily take priority, as needed. While we offer vacation time, it’s not delivered in the traditional benefit sense. Our people instead have the flexibility to take days off as needed for vacation or personal time instead of being restricted to having a limited number of days per year. While the increased flexibility is helpful, it also means more personal responsibility to ensure we are taking care of ourselves and taking the time off to relax and spend time with those we care about.
