Pros

Welcome to the “rocketship”. Great people, free lunch

Cons

Managers and leadership are not incentivized to promote. Extremely difficult, convoluted, and not transparent performance cycles. You are fully in charge of your own growth and will not be encouraged to develop. Few learning opportunities when everything is urgent and a fire drill. Many managers should not be people managers.

Pros

- great people - amazing product that sells itself once people get their hands on it - innovative company - decent ote and benefits

Cons

- comp plan this year for hunters is not aligned with company strategy of focusing on larger, multi-year commits. it incentivizes quantity of deals vs. quality of deals, and payouts on commit $$$ are peanuts.
