      Pros

      Smart engineers and humble place to work with. Good product and reputation

      Cons

      Quite political and with top heavy leadership and unrealistic always cut throat deadlines, quite poor WLB. Slow or no career progression unless you are the lucky ones picked by founders

      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.
