      Pros

      - Great product and Gartner Leader for Identity and Access Management - On track for IPO - Strong C-level executive team - VC backed by Andreesseen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital - Unlimited PTO (double edge sword)

      Cons

      - Unpleasant office space for sales team in SF - not natural sunlight and stark walls - supposed to move by end of year to a new space. Impacts recruiting and productivity - Politics of a larger public company - Adding middle layer of management creates bureaucracy and unneeded layers. 5 layers between the sales rep and CEO for a 500 person company - Limited people making number in emerging and corporate sales - territories skewed to favor a few that have major metropolitan cities - NYC or Bay Area - Talent and gender gap in Sales and very young sales tenure - Unclear promotional and career track - Talent gap in sales - promoting people into closing sales roles with less than 1 year experience

      Pros

      Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

      Cons

      Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
