Pros

Great work enviroment, fantastic benefits

Cons

The entire marketing team is absolutely useless to the company, there is no support for the sales team so you have to do heavy lifting. I worked with field reps that are stunned on how hard it is to get meetings with prospects because of how little brand recognition is.

Great people, terrible leadership

Pros

Individual contributors are great. They tend to hire really well at the IC level and the boots on the ground are usually top quality. Benefits are good and comp is ok.

Cons

Absolutely terrible and clueless senior leadership. The E-team could not be any worse. Product decisions are terrible and result in an unstable product with rushed features and little to no cohesiveness throughout their sprawling software packages. The churn at the exec level is high and for some reason they keep hiring completely unqualified people who baffle the staff. Moral is getting really bad, employee feedback ratings are dropping, and they have no clue what to do. They don't deal with toxic leaders and sometimes even promote them because they tend to ride on the work of others below them. It's honestly hard to watch and I couldn't take it anymore. Two recent exec hires were the final straw for me. I used to love this company but over the last couple years I have watched it devolve into a really crappy work environment and the CEO and other leaders getting more and more detached from the reality of the product and company. I'm sure there are plenty of people who love this place but the further you get up the ladder, the more you want to run away.

Pros

- strong business outlook - excellent product - surrounded by some of the best expertise from whom one can learn - collaborative and supportive colleagues

Cons

- founders (ceo and chairman) have absolute and dictatorial control, which leads to poor decisions and high inefficiency across all Commercial functions. - people are scared of the CEO and his reactions, which leads to a dysfunctional culture. VP and below culture is good, but above that it is poor and corrosive. - Churn in Commercial leadership roles (Finance, Marketing, Sales) is for a good reason. CEO does not understand GTM and drives out high-performing experts due to his tops-down leadership style that does not build trust in his ELT - Above issues are classic of a private company, led by the founder/ceo that is technically brilliant but thinks it's his way or the highway. This works when you have 500 people and are private but not when you have 2000 and heading towards a potential IPO.
