Pros

Option to bring dogs to work.

Cons

No training. Worse management experience every!!! Not all the departments were in sync with one another. Certain people were favored over others. Office manners were no where to be found. HR was more of an offer manager rather than professional help. People were fired for no reason and with no warning. Everyone was dispensable, no matter how senior or how long you have been with the company. The CMO had the most unrealistic expectations and tasks assigned to people. The CMO would email work related things at odd hours of the night, and effected my personal life. I found myself to be working on weekends. The CMO would set people up for failure. Some people left the company unexpectedly. No effort to build relationships in the work place. Everyone kept to themselves. I was made big promises but in reality there was nothing. I was not happy with how i was treated and how abruptly i was let go.

Hey there, fellow Alpinist. Thanks for your review. Your comments about training are correct. Although we have a product training for our customers, we haven't made that available to new employees. It's a great idea, and we're going to pursue it. Some of your other comments are a little difficult to reconcile with the general sense that I get from talking to our current employees. For example, we have weekly lunches, social events and regular talks that seem to have been very effective at building a small but highly collaborative and friendly team. The level of chatter and excitement in our office does not seem to imply a workplace where everyone keeps to themselves. Still, it's important that everyone on the team feel valued and connected, so I'll bring the points that you've made to the attention of the management team.

Pros

This company has provided one of the most amazing rides of my career. I've worked at quite a few companies, but I've been impressed with the team here. They move fast and are not afraid of taking on audacious goals. Sales and Marketing have out-executed the competition and Alpine is positioned really high in credibility with Gartner and others. Engineering has delivered 3 releases last year, including innovation on Spark and with R...and the team is cooking up a pretty amazing pipeline in their roadmap. The investors are super involved too. They often stop by company events and connect with each of us over drinks (pretty cool to get exposure to their work btw). Sure, there are tough patches at times but the caliber of customers we work with (large financials, telcos, manufacturing...) has been incredible.

Cons

It's a startup! You've got to have tolerance for ambiguity. You've got to be internally driven to win. If you're looking for a standard 9-5 job, this isn't the company. Everyone's got a lot on their plate and everyone drives hard. This isn't for everyone!
