Pros

Industry-leading data and AI platform that empowers customers to achieve their data, AI, and digital transformation goals. Exceptionally transparent and open leadership culture, with the CEO and executive team regularly sharing important updates with all employees on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Highly competitive compensation packages, including attractive pre-IPO stock options. Team of highly skilled employees who consistently outperform competitors.

Cons

The company’s rapid growth trajectory makes it challenging to preserve its unique culture, raising concerns about potentially shifting toward a less agile, more bureaucratic "day 2" organization. Aggressive sales targets and high-pressure culture can sometimes conflict with the core leadership principle of "customer obsession," creating tension between meeting quotas and prioritizing customer needs.

- 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.
