Pros

- Very strong execs, though it’s still got a startup feel, the execs (many are still co founders which is amazing) already act like they are running a public company with the vision and discipline it needs to succeed long-term. Ali is just brilliant. - Culture is great as they take their cultural principles seriously, especially transparency and customer-first. I like that better than other start-ups I’ve worked at. - People are friendly and helpful. - Product positioning is great for this market and the needs from large enterprises

Cons

- Product complexity (long standing perception is still managed spark with notebooks which is no longer the focus). The company is laser focused on making the product simpler, so that will finally change that perception and make the product more appealing and accessible to business people - No 401k match (though other benefits are above industry standards like fitness perks and RSUs)
