Business Outlook

Pros

Bleeding Edge Tech ready to be scaled accross the globe even in more conservative markets like DACH regjon. Hugh growth potential over next years. Management is great in mentoring developing skills and extended account team is a valuable asset to ensure success Team is great, work environment is amazing. Buildinga region from scratch enables sales reps to really immerse in figuring on how to grow their territory and new approaches and optimisations are always welcome.

Cons

Management does sometimes underestimate market maturity specifically in DACH making it hard to leverage on EMEA experience as the way doing business in DACH is completely different. Be ready to not work a 9-5

Pros

You get to work on stuff that's pushing the boundaries of what data analytics systems can do and how fast they can do it. The people are super friendly and helpful.

Cons

There are a lot of meetings spread throughout almost every work day. Makes it a bit tricky to get into the "zone" sometimes.
