      Great platform, smart execs, crappy management

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The platform vision is brilliant, sure to be a disruptor in the market (if it isn't already) Smart engineering team, some real field talent including sellers, SA's etc. Good pay & benefits

      Cons

      The field management is some of the worst I've seen. Lots of power tripping managers whose main skill is sucking up to their seniors, and in turn the managers are "protected" which means they can get away with unprofessional behavior and treating even the best performers on their team like crap. Rampant favoritism which means IC's who are amongst the lowest performing in terms of metrics get promotions and access to opportunities before better performing members on their team. Lots of script-based hacks to get the platform working properly (lookup Databricks workspace migration as an example), lack of seamless UX and integrated admin workflows across the platform, which are key to enterprise adoption.
