Pros
I've been here for a few months. My background is in management consulting and corporate strategy / finance. I have an MBA from a top 20 program. My impressions so far:
- Check out the core values on their website. Unlike some other companies where I've worked in the past, these statements are the lifeblood of the organization and get discussed/mentioned as they are demonstrated in meetings and conversations throughout each day.
- The culture that has grown out of these core values is optimistic, unified, friendly, and a great example of work hard / play hard.
- These people dream big when setting quarterly / annual / long-term goals, then they EXECUTE! Consistent ~40% growth Y/Y for four years is pretty impressive!
- Very high calibre talent combined with personable, likable, friendly personalities throughout the org.
- Recent acquisition with SAP will accelerate growth in a way that no other avenue could (e.g., IPO).
- 20+ locations globally with several new locations opening each year.
- For my role in particular (enterprise customer success manager), this is a world-class approach to customer success with incredible leaders (former top-tier i-bankers and consultants, all around rock stars), achieving industry-leading renewal and expansion rates.
- Weekly all hands meetings led by C-suite are very transparent and create greater unity and positive energy within the org
- Brand new Macbook Pro with 30-inch monitor on day 1 for all employees :)
- As an experience company, management cares about providing great experiences for their employees. As such, department / team activities are frequent, regular, well-funded, and fun! Not to mention the annual experience bonus! (read more on the website or that)
- Growth creates many opportunities for upward mobility and potential international positions. Especially now that we're getting acquired by SAP.
- Top notch benefits: company pays for all medical insurance premiums, generous coverage on other standard health benefits, free catered lunches M/W/F, several fully-stocked kitchens throughout the building, scooters and skateboards in the building, dogs welcome, frequent distribution of cool company swag, too many other things to mention here!
Cons
- Headquarters in Provo, UT, is a blessing a curse. It's nice to not deal with the traffic and congestion of a larger metropolitan area (e.g., Seattle where the other co-headquarters is), but it can be tough to attract top talent to come work here because we aren't in a large metropolitan area. Beautiful setting, though, and close to plenty of outdoor fun!
- High concentration of BYU grads because BYU right down the street and founders from BYU, could be a pro depending on your own personal perspective. The company has made a deliberate effort to diversify the workforce over the past couple years and they're making progress across all levels of the org.
- Compensation for post-MBA role in Utah is competitive but not leading the market. However, benefits make up for most of this.
