Pros

Nice, respectful colleagues. Transparent & accessible leadership. Google relationship is a big plus.

Cons

Essentially the entire leadership team spent a long period at Informatica - this gets reflected in the strategy and is not at all a strength. The product has significant potential, but the focus on large enterprise customers to the exclusion of all else has really hampered the product and strategy. Many resources being wasted on delivering one-off customer needs from big names, rather than improving the product overall. There has been recognition that the product needs help for a while, but user issues often get de-prioritized in favor of requests that help close a deal. Company is finally starting to pay the price in renewal and adoption issues. There's a lack of willingness to push the envelope and be innovative/experimental. Definitely doesn't feel like an exciting startup.

Pros

I come from a UC, which is considered moderately prestigious in the world of higher education. That being said, I have never been surrounded by such a high concentration of intelligence and knowledge as I have here at Trifacta. I am constantly amazed by the level of intellect that resides in our office. If you are motivated and inspired by top level collaboration with the best minds in the tech field, then this is your place. In addition, we have unlimited vacation time, office vacations (i.e. Hawaii and Napa wine tours), happy hours offsite, video games, ping pong, open floor layout, even catered lunches. This company knows how to work hard and exceed expectations; we are motivated and goal-oriented. We also know how to relax and have fun. We respect the importance of living a well-balanced lifestyle.

Cons

The team is made up of the intellectual elite and with the bar set so high, the level of expectation for each employee is high. You have to be prepared to meet or beat expectations. We support each other and help each other to succeed but we do also expect you to carry your share of the work load. This is not necessarily a "con" but it can be for someone who is not self-motivated.
