Pros

I work with some of the best minds in technology on tough customer challenges at massive scale. There's always something new, and we are continuously reaching higher and achieving goals that many deem to be out of reach. A very collaborative group of individuals with a quite non hierarchical structure, I find myself free to explore my passions and be creative, all while contributing to the company's (quite aggressive) revenue targets.

Cons

Scaling so quickly has its challenges. Lack of clear process can sometimes cause confusion and wasted effort. Working with non-usa based R&D can make for quite early mornings and late nights.

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.
