Pros

Ok benefits, great tech, happy customers (for the most part)

Cons

Todd made a costly mistake in 2021 by hiring an inexperienced President that ruined the entire organization which will now take years to rebuild. It is actually kind of upsetting how everyone could see this happening from miles away with the exception of Todd. Both the President and CRO are out now which was celebrated across the sales org. But the rebuild will take a while and unfortunately some positions have to be eliminated to make the sales org more productive.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
