Pros

Fully remote, OTE top notch

Cons

This place is a virtual meat grinder. The company is headed towards a cliff, don't just trust my review, just look at the attrition numbers! Leadership is either delusional or completely out of touch. Sales leadership utilizes high pressure tactics (internally and externally) with no nuance or strategy. Partner motion is completely broken. Lots of favoritism and incumbent relationships that take priority so there's no scalability. Quotas are unattainable, and you're forced to buy into the delusion. Middle managers seem to enjoy micro managing. Misery loves company and being remote makes that difficult. When employees get to gather, they find relief in commiserating. It's a sad fest. Exec Leadership? None to speak of. They don't exist. This company is too small for a figurehead, they need hands on leadership with experience and a foothold in reality.

Pros

Drata’s remote first culture attracts many talented engineers across the globe. It’s amazing to be able to work with people from almost every continent and feel like you are all in the same virtual room. There are lots of opportunities to mentor and learn especially given the unique product requirements and timing around the rise of AI.

Cons

Being part of a startup is always chaotic and challenging. Some people thrive while others struggle to keep up. That’s the name of the game.
