Great Team

Cloud acquisition representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The leadership is very transparent and works hard to be agile when it comes to seeing issues and looking to solve them. They also tend to keep the team in the loop as best they can. The product is great and the tools they use at the company are amazing. The CEO is great and very forward thinking.

Cons

As a very heavily Product-Led company, the larger company does not always see sales as a necessity and the Pre Sales Engineering team is spread thin.
