      Pros

      If you want to work with smart, dedicated people, this is the company for you. The company is also in a unique place to leverage its system of record to provide unique value to developers as they partner with agents.

      Cons

      It has a number of recent leadership changes and is going through a period of transformation.

      Disappointing Management & Lack of True Transparency

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company has a strong reputation in the industry, and on the surface, the culture seems appealing with its remote-first setup and documentation-driven approach. Colleagues were smart and capable, and I enjoyed collaborating with peers at my level. The flexibility of remote work was a plus.

      Cons

      My actual experience with management was not good. Despite promoting transparency and iteration, the reality within the RevOps/Deal Desk org was the opposite: highly unorganized, extremely reactive, and not focused on building scalable processes. Leadership was not transparent in decision-making, and priorities shifted constantly without alignment or clarity. Autonomy was talked about but not actually practiced.. most of the time we were putting out fires instead of strategically driving improvements. Growth opportunities were vague, and management didn’t provide clear paths for career development.
