Hard work is paying off

Pros

• Really smart, capable founders + execs • Insanely talented engineers everywhere, strong technical culture • Open, accessible culture – maybe because of Danish origins? • I've never learned more anywhere

Cons

• Growing pains: enterprise go-to-market has been tough (though they just hired a VP sales, and reorged marketing to help), and pre-2.0 releases were pretty chaotic. Nothing you wouldn't expect at this stage in any startup. • Multiple time zones — SF and Copenhagen mostly — mean some occasional weird hours • Remote work seems great for engineers, but less great for non-technical folks

Lots of Missed Opportunities

Pros

Friendly, small team. Individuals have a lot of autonomy and flexibility in day to day approach to their work. Approachable founders, cool technology. Great benefits.

Cons

Significant culture shift at Realm over the past year - lots of departures, layoffs, and sense of floundering as the go-to-market strategy hasn't produced expected results. Cofounders have left a significant portion of leadership up to the CMO, who can be challenging to work with/under. Hired an SDR & AE team with no management in place - seems like a wasted opportunity. Still no sales leadership more than a year after the core product was released. Weak management throughout organization - lots of messy releases and sometimes tense environment to work in. All issues that needed to be ironed out a year ago, not today.
