Pros

It's still super hyper growth. There are a lot of change initiatives going on and a lot of good things to participate in. I learned a lot and gained some invaluable experiences. I also met some of the most wonderful people. Life long friends.

Cons

There is so much ego and arrogance among the leadership. They take pride in the fact that they can bring people over without having to pay them a dime more. They tout and exaggerate their status as a unicorn, telling you you're on a rocket ship and what a great opportunity it is. However, they have a lot of red tape around promotions. It's extremely hard and completely decided by people you don't work with (that is, outside of sales). And then if one of the top executives doesn't agree with the decision the committee came to, he can just veto it. As for sales: it's extremely hard. Most reps don't hit quota. And any lower tiered rep isn't really set up for success. If you're interviewing, make sure to ask what level of AE you would be (1-5). If you're a one or two, either don't take it or expect to only be there for a year.

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
