Pros

* Absolutely Best Company in the Data/Storage space. * Visionary and customer-centric senior leadership. * Differentiated platform and radical roadmap. * Audacious and Over-achieving. * I think that we actually care about each other.

Cons

* Runs lean, sometimes too lean, as we scale faster than any previous data infrastructure company. * The focus on hiring only the best talent does mean that some positions sit open for a bit too long. * Less on-boarding support and training than one would expect for a company of this size (but not necessarily of this age). * The work can be all consuming if you want it to be, so self-care is important (and is generally supported).

Pros

Customer Support are literal superheroes keeping the product alive. Cool tech and vision.

Cons

Terrible pay compared to industry. Terrible quotas (15% of the company made quota, they cancelled club 2x in a row) Product stability No HR / employee support Terrible benefits. Many people use their spouse’s benefits. Stock grants are garbage now. Are we ever going to IPO? “We’re not a hardware company” and we don’t get paid on HW except our entire lives revolve around it. Zero postsales support. You’d better like living in a datacenter, doing your own installs, and everything. They love playing games with expenses.
