Pros

- lots of innovation - beginners mindset and flexible environment where you can try new things -equity grants are strong and comp is good too - very fast paced which can be great when you are building things and new processes

Cons

- the highest levels of leadership are still very involved in even the smallest of details often slowing things down unnecessarily - the pace of work is so fast it can be demanding and work life balance can be challenging - there is a culture of almost bragging about how hard the work is and demanding the schedule can be

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.
