Pros

- Great hands on experience with systems at massive scale - Interesting and challenging engineering problems - Always working on exciting impactful work, never gets old - Everyone is pretty friendly overall - Fully remote, with freedom to work out of any of their offices around the world I really feel thankful for getting the opportunity to work at a company making such a huge impact to the everyday world and internet at large

Cons

- Compensation seems like it could be much better - No 401k match - No on-call overtime pay (even on holidays) - Can be hard to get work across finish line on time as every team has slightly different process

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.
