Pros

Good brand, product works and provides value

Cons

Where to start? Everything after the auth0 acquisition went from bad to worse. Nonsensical decisions from sales leadership spanned across holdover policies of opportunities and assignment of territories. Nothing mad sense and mid management wasn’t prepared to speak upwards and explain the truth! EMEA leadership has become very duplicitous and untrustworthy. A very saddening scenario all round, great people have left in droves and the team is left in tatters because of it.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
