Business Outlook

Pros

Strong salary, fantastic product, motivated employees, great enablement for AEs

Cons

Very few women (I would estimate ~10% of AEs are women, and even fewer leaders). A big factor is likely the weak parental leave policy (16 weeks compared to 20-24 at most other tech companies).
