Pros

Aby is the kind of place where engineers are genuinely respected and trusted to do great work. The technical challenges here are real. The team is made up of genuinely talented, collaborative people. There's no ego and everyone is willing to jump in, pair on a problem, or explain something from first principles. Senior engineers actively mentor and knowledge-sharing is built into the culture, not an afterthought. Flexibility is excellent. Hybrid working is handled maturely no performative office mandates, just trust that you'll get your work done.

Cons

progression paths exist, but aren't as clearly structured

Pros

Their platform works well but their GTM was unfortunately all over the place. Benefits were solid and the sales org was given the proper tools to manage their day to day responsibilities. Sales Engineering org knows their stuff and was always willing to go the extra mile to make the most out of opportunities.

Cons

Very little training was provided and while they always said they wanted to support and coach their reps, there was very little follow through on it. Commercially, there was little to no inbound so most activities were focused on brute force outbound that yielded very little results. Management had no answers or provided no feedback on how to improve it. The overall feeling for any reps outside of London was that you were an afterthought - across all functions it felt as though they just going through the paces if not UK-based
