Pros

The Australian team is incredible. They are some of the best I have had the pleasure to work with. Great local culture. Technology is great and the investments in maturing the tech mean huge opportunity.

Cons

APAC sales leader is problematic. I would not recommend this workplace to women. Diversity is a huge issue as well as respect of women from leadership. The recent lay-offs in Australia were due to the right to disconnect legislation that was brought in and trumped strategy. We lost talent, marketing, channel and operations to offshore to countries with less employees rights.

Pros

- Good compensation - Super flexible remote (edging on too flexible) - Pretty good CEO - A good amount of autonomy - Good work life balance

Cons

Very myopic focus on sales targets, and thus not very long term thinking from a customer engagement standpoint. Things can seem, and actually be very transactional. Feels like sales generally runs the show despite the product being the real star. Decision making is a bit wonky and to a certain extent you can do whatever you want. Leadership is generally underwhelming Hiring/firing: they will do anything to get people in or out quickly. Instead of trying to hire the right people and take the time to do it, they just hire as fast as possible, then if they made the wrong choice they just fire people rather than try to improve.

Pros

Company culture is very engineering driven and teammates are knowledgeable and easy to interact with. Managers are also approachable. The interviewing process was quite pleasant. My recruiter Jay was helpful and sent out reminder emails prior to interview containing information about what to expect and how we could better prepare. Good experience overall

Cons

can't think of any yet
