Pros

- You get a lot of responsibility and autonomy - Great mission and high impact for a smallish company - Good place to establish yourself as an an expert (for some roles) - Great office in SOMA

Cons

- Lack of effort in cultivating a company culture which means people often bring their bad side to work, especially the coasters (those waiting around to cash out equity) - Company gives out very little equity, no system in place to reward high performing employees to keep them around

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
