Pros

Team-first attitude ensures that you always get the help you need. My colleagues are some of the smartest people I've ever worked with. I am constantly learning both technical skills and business acumen. The company invests in its people often hiring from within and providing leadership development opportunities for ICs wishing to transition to management positions. I feel recognized for the work I do and supported when I work on projects that may fall outside the strict definition of the job.

Cons

We're a big company now with small company problems. Our internal operational systems have not scaled with our growth. Still a lot of "institutional knowledge" from the field that needs to be better documented. High expectations for the company can create stressful stretches of time to meet ambitious goals. Programs are in place to address the lack of diversity but we still need to make way more progress to be a more diverse workplace.

Pros

* Amazing talent: A lot of people in leadership and senior IC positions that are ex-Google and ex-Facebook. I have worked at other large tech companies, but I have never seen such a concentration of talent in one place. * Compensation: one of the best in the market. * Tech driven: all the founders are extremely technical and they understand technology from bottom to the top. Same goes for the middle management. It makes it much easier to have conversations with the management or anyone in the leadership. They understand the ground reality. * Interesting challenges: if you like to get yourself challenged, this is the place to be.

Cons

* As the company is growing, so are the number of processes. Sometimes these processes can slow you down in the short run, but they are in place for the long term velocity and that we make the right choices.

Pros

- Work from home - Free lunch in office (SF office is stocked) - Provide excellent sales/product training - Opportunity to grow - Great managers - Great colleagues

Cons

- Still defining what clear success looks like for SDRs (S1, S2, S3) - Sales team is growing fast - often working with new AEs as they onboard and get to know the big data landscape - Great opportunity for those who can make it 1 year plus in this role, be ready to work
