Pros

- Fun and exciting atmosphere with an imminent IPO - Extremely smart people across all departments - Attracting top talent from top companies - Compensation package (OTE + RSUs), benefits such as unlimited time off, and work-life balance working fully remotely with the option to go into a couple shared offices - Tons of career growth opportunity as we look to double headcount in 2022 and beyond

Cons

- Not a con, but a challenge is learning the technical nature of the industry. It's a fairly long learning curve for those like me coming from outside data & AI (came from Salesforce). However, our talented Solution Architects help so much, they are top talent. - H1 and H2 quotas vs an annual quota up front. I think this is part of figuring out comp packages at a hyper growth company with a fair balance of commit and consumption quotas. - Various weighting of commit vs consumption quota (0/100, 30/70, 70/30) with the possibility of it changing halfway through the year adds to the uncertainty of compensation and how to align activities to compensation.
