Pros

The company invested heavily on sales and marketing workforce. It is good to see the brand name everywhere.

Cons

As the other reviews illustrates, the organization is heavily focused on marketing and sales investments. For engineers, there is little to no opportunity to learn and adopt modern technologies as the platform forces all the application development to be done in JavaScript. Engineers with server side skills will have no opportunity to build on that skill unless you are in the platform team. Also limited engineering roles can apply frameworks outside of native JavaScript, such as React or Angular. Its a grave yard for engineer's career if you are in the growing mode and looking for a position where you can learn and grow during the projects.

Pros

pay was solid. i guess you can get in at a good strike price if you receive a new grant now...

Cons

- Bill and p5 are busy living the high life at F1 races and concerts, while the operators get cut - Leaders have been told not to promote internally. Only external candidates, ideally from salesforce - we just cut 2500 people and leadership refuses to even acknowledge it - Refresh #s are low and we have been told additional stock grants for lower than VP will be <1/2 or 0 - we continue to move away from what our product can actually do now we are just building screens and selling an unrealistic dream
