Pros

Fast-paced and lots to learn in this new market. Fully remote culture since inception. Small team with the ability to move quickly.

Cons

Founders are inexperienced and leadership has been lacking. Poor hiring at senior levels. A lack of product direction and focus has lead to burn out and unclear roadmap. Culture can be toxic and lacks psychological safety in many roles.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time at Gremlin and left voluntarily for an opportunity I felt like I could not pass up. The people at Gremlin are tremendous, and customers see the value in what Gremlin delivers. Gremlin has an incredible set of existing customers and is unanimously considered the market leader. The GTM team has an incredibly strong leader and Engineering & Sales is a cohesive unit. The product has continued to evolve from Chaos Engineering into Reliability Management and now into Reliability Intelligence which will be relevant in the AI era. The Solution Architecture team is very strong and is a great asset to the sales team as well.

Cons

It can be a long sales cycle for net new logos in the Fortune 500. However this is typical for any startup breaking into new accounts.
