Pros

Exciting high growth industry. Product is amazing. Exposure to modern data stack and tools.

Cons

Team culture is inconsistent and heavily dependent on who you work with. Presence of toxic and backstabbing behaviour that undermines trust and collaboration. Recent hires are not as impressive.

Pros

- great people - amazing product that sells itself once people get their hands on it - innovative company - decent ote and benefits

Cons

- comp plan this year for hunters is not aligned with company strategy of focusing on larger, multi-year commits. it incentivizes quantity of deals vs. quality of deals, and payouts on commit $$$ are peanuts.
