Pros

Amazing office/culture/perks, coworkers who are smart and motivated while also being awesome people, fantastic work/life balance, great opportunities for cross-functional work with other teams, strong leadership and managers

Cons

Less competitive compensation for my role than other software sales companies, very long ramp time for new hires due to depth of product knowledge required

Pros

Mission-driven company with passionate, skilled employees. Salary & equity are attractive; flexible PTO. Remarkable transparency for a public company gives greater context and regular all-hands meetings provide a forum for questions & feedback. Great corporate culture.

Cons

Fast growth could lead to problems later in terms of culture, focus shift. Devops model means engineers are stuck with pager duty; inconvenience varies by team. No support yet for 401k matching. Diversity could be better.

Pros

Freedom to do great work, startup-like environment at a stable public company, competitive pay, good equity, and unlimited/flexible PTO. Located in San Francisco proper too!

Cons

The transparency and perks have been gradually decreasing as the company has grown larger. The location in Mid-Market is not as good as if it were in the Financial District or SOMA.
