Pros

Data streaming platform is highly differentiated technology. Huge market opportunity with very few competitors. Well protected moats will allow for continued expansion. Leadership is highly transparent and empathetic.

Cons

Building a company from nothing to a $7 billion valuation in the last several years requires a lot of flexibility and speed, which can feel chaotic. If you want to be part of the ride you have to expect change and be excited for this type of environment. Personally I'm thrilled to be part of a company which continues to aggressively invest and grow, despite the broader macroeconomic climate.

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
