Pros

- Great leadership team - Great technology - Financially disciplined management team - Open and honest corporate communications - Technology and solutions that provide real, measurable value to customers. - Friendly, collaborative culture - everybody wants to help.

Cons

Not so much a con as a warning - this is hard work. There's more to learn than is reasonable, the pace of change is blinding, and the founders are clearly driving towards a goal with everything they've got. The culture reflects that - there's always more to learn, or do, and lots of opportunity to help out other folks that are in the same position. Goals are aggressive - sales goals, engineering goals, everything, and we all believe that we can make it happen. But that means hard work and dedication. It's tough to get hired here, and when you do, they expect a lot. If you're not ready for that, if you're not at a place in your life where you can put in the extra effort, it might not be the place for you.

Pros

Tons of opportunity, the company is growing like wildfire and people are excited about the upside. Lots of impactful projects to take on and create a lasting mark in this organization. Super bright people, including many from the top 10 Enterprise B2B IPOs in the last decade are helping drive the future of this organization. Fantastic benefits, especially healthcare plans.

Cons

High growth means there's a constantly a need for more space. New office coming soon! There are some growing pains but leadership is trying to address as soon as they are surfaced.

Pros

Best engineering team I've ever seen. Some of the smartest people I've ever met. Made many good friends here. Amazing outlook for the company. CEO , board, and many founders doing a great job.

Cons

Normal startup issues and minor missteps. Many people who this is the first job ever for. Working with a "bunch" of geniuses isn't for the faint of heart.
