Pros

- The company has built a strong, values-driven culture and actively works to preserve and strengthen it as the organisation grows - Managers are approachable, teams are collaborative, and work-life balance is genuinely respected with reasonable expectations around working hours - There is good exposure to real projects, and employees are trusted with ownership and responsibility - Code reviews are thorough and taken seriously, which helps maintain high engineering standards and encourages knowledge sharing across the team

Cons

- As the company continues to grow, many processes are still being set up or refined, which can occasionally slow execution

Pros

-Strong pay (if you hit your numbers) -Ambitious goals that challenge you -Competitive landscape that will force you to get better beyond exclusively selling -Founders still very involved and very visible to the company and employees -Team cultures are always strong -For sales, you always get in touch with prospects, which is an underrated pro -When leadership promotes internal mobility and career development they mean it and support it

Cons

-Numerous Sales teams that share the same markets/TAMs. Customers and prospects get exhausted of outreach - Since going public, the goal posts keep moving forward even if 60% of the org hit goal. -A number of core leaders have left, new ones still learning the ropes which was hindering the orgs and teams
