Pros

The product is seriously incredible. They dogfood their product with their own company data, so they're constantly working on valuable features that have real applications. Also some of the smartest people I've ever met work there, and they contribute amazing things to the world of software. In terms of the business, Domo is definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with in the BI space.

Cons

My main beef has to do with upper management and primarily Josh James. While he's definitely led the business to great success, Josh has also derailed the company many times in many aspects. He runs the company like he's ADHD. He gets an idea in his head and forces his project upon the company whether or not it's a good idea. Halfway through finishing, however, he gets bored and starts chasing another idea. An example of this was Domo's "Buzz" chat feature. He wanted to compete with Slack despite the fact that Slack is a totally different industry and not remotely competing with Domo. So the company spent years and who knows how much money pushing Buzz, only to have many customers specifically request to disable the feature. I believe all of this is getting better now that the company has gone public and has to account to their shareholders every quarter. Most projects are going through the proper channels rather than mandated by Josh. In terms of upper management, some are great, but most play the political game non-stop to get ahead. Josh tends to encourage this behavior or is completely oblivious to it, but considering how obvious it is to the entire company, I highly doubt he is oblivious. There are several in upper management who are not remotely qualified for the position, but got it by playing at politics. They then coast by relying on the work of others which they then get credit for.

Pros

I work with brilliant people in a highly collaborative environment. No one is condescending and my opportunities for growth are limitless. I was incredibly hesitant to interview but I'm so glad that I did and that I accepted the job. I'm really not sure where the idea of it being a "brogrammer" culture started. The environment is so diverse and inclusive. I feel very valued and respected as an employee and a team member. I am excited and challenged every day. As a mom with young kids and a female engineer, I can say that for me, it's been a fantastic place to work with great work/life balance and flexibility.

Cons

Watch out for all the food. Definitely need to exercise self-restraint with all the delicious food everywhere.

Pros

Domo always tries to help you grow in your career. We use newer technology and libraries, and build awesome products. The benefits are pretty great, including paying for a technology conference, and of course, free food.

Cons

It's a relatively fast paced work environment, which can be a little stressful.
