      Pros

      Great product. Customers love the product and it truly is disrupting Enterprise Data Warehousing. Good CEO with solid intentions and desired company values.

      Cons

      The unicorn status and huge rounds of funding has led to the influx of big company executives and they’re bringing in ‘their people’ — irrespective of role or job suitability. The company has gone from under 200 employees to almost 1,000 in less than 2 years. Tremendous growth and culture scaling challenges ensuing. Good people are suddenly let go while random roles are created and being hired without much process. Managers need training— there is a sub-culture of sarcastic humor, disrespectful toxicity and putting people down in certain groups.
