Pros

- Kind, smart, driven, conscious, empathetic, intelligent, caring people - Awesome product, great engineering and product teams that actually do user research and develop based on user feedback - Really, really great People Ops team. TONS of resources for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+. Tons of internal events to keep people engaged, motivated, connected. - Lots of attention paid to individual growth by everyone from direct managers all the way to leadership team

Cons

- Growing really really really fast so keeping up to date on product features, updates, supported integrations is a tough task. Everyone has their own repository of content so a lot of repeated work being done in silos. - Product surface area is very large and growing every day. Makes it hard to get a good grasp on who the target persona are and delve deep into a specific functionality or domain. Have to be a jack of all trades and split attention between many different parts of the platform.

Pros

Smart people, a product that will really help change the world

Cons

They say diversity matters but within their sales department there is NO indication they want to change that. Many of the people in the sales org are self absorbed white men who continuously look down on others. And this is all the way up the ladder to the CRO of the company. Women and people of color a a rare find here. So diversity means anything to you and you understand the benefit it gives organization to thrive I would strongly encourage taking some time to think before joining “the rocket ship”
