Great company with a great product that we all wish was performing better
Pros
- The company has things figured out operationally and moves fairly smoothly. Processes and the way things get done make sense. - The company unsurprisingly attracts many people who are organized and have attention to detail - Product is great and the company is serious about dogfooding it - Talent in R&D tends to be high quality. Not going to be cream of the crop but you'll likely be working with smart folks. - Surprisingly minimal re-orgs for a company of this size - Company mostly walks-the-walk in terms of pay equity - Team-to-team dependency management is much better than my past experience at a big tech company
Cons
- CEO has a lot of conviction about the future of the company and the potential for AI but this isn't translating to people on the ground or stock price (yet) - Occasionally tops-down decision making can be frustrating. Some teams get affected a lot while others not at all. - Funky tech stack that takes some getting used to... but it works well enough for the product - R&D teams generally feel silo'ed within themselves - Because this is enterprise SaaS, can be hard to feel like you are doing things that actually translate to more sales revenue. Also can be hard to more deeply understand customers and pain points.
