Pros

Great people and fun atmosphere in the office. Interesting problems. Business side is booming. Advanced technologies. Can't ask for much more, honestly.

Cons

As part of growing pains of transitioning from a startup to a large-scale organization, some of the newer team leads are still not very good at dealing with subordinates and helping them grow.. Salaries are significantly lower than corporate levels (FAANG), but upside with options+secondary rounds should make up for it with a decent comp. package.

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.
