Pros

Wonderful team, working with deep networks

Cons

Leadership didn't know what to do with the team post acquisition. Constantly changing direction, no clear vision, and everyone from the OG research team has left at this point. Join at your own risk. I used to love coming into the office, but by the end all the smartest, best coworkers were driven out.

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.
