Pros

- extremely easy to sell the product since it's (apparently) great - every salesperson is disgustingly overpaid

Cons

- the sales leadership are some of the most awful people you will ever encounter - the stereotypical rich, arrogant, snobby rich-kid persona - they will "change" your variable comp package every few months if you do too well (3 times in a year for me!)

Thank you for being candid. It’s encouraging to hear that the product is resonating so well in the market, but we also recognize that the internal experience of a fast growing company can be intense. Building a startup at this pace isn't a linear process. As we scale, we are constantly learning how to better balance our sales structures and leadership approach to match the quality of our technology. We know that the speed of these changes can be challenging, and we appreciate the perspective from those on the ground helping us navigate this phase. Thank you for your hard work in the New York market and for helping us see the blind spots as we grow.

Pros

Innovative technology that addresses real-world data security concerns. The tech is very relevant to the current AI landscape and helps accelerate AI initiatives across enterprises in a secure manner. Management has done a good job bringing self-actualized talent into the organization and keeping them motivated. The speed of innovation is fast and it is a place where you are constantly learning new things.

Cons

There are lot of processes in place and some of these need to be simplified in order to make it easier for the field sellers. Sometimes, it is also difficult to get resources due to critical resources in different time zones and dependence on these resources for certain product capabilities.
