Great company with some quirks

Solutions architect

Business Outlook

Pros

- Work on one of the hottest tools in tech. - Work with some of the most talented people I've ever been around. - All remote culture (if that's for you). - Excellence as a principle. The most transparent organization I've ever been apart of.

Cons

- The most politically correct organization I've ever been apart of. I understand the idea of honoring others, but many of the rules that we have are just obnoxious and aren't even beneficial. - Unlimited PTO, but a lot of people can't take PTO because of job demands (I am in sales).
