Pros

Culture, product, culture development (post-controversies), funding, office and perks, career development opportunities, leadership with experience exiting successful startups (Meraki, Okta, etc). OTE is doable if playbook is run (even in tough patches, like me), 7-figure mid-market deals close with increasing velocity, accelerators are generous for overachievers.

Cons

If you are willing to dedicate yourself to helping to bring an extremely promising company to IPO, your dedication will be rewarded. This is one of the best equity plays in Silicon Valley (probably in the last 10 years, due to lack of competition) - if that isn't the mindset you take into the role every day, you will struggle. Because of this, attrition is high.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
