Pros

Has good partner technology ecosystem

Cons

Leadership at this company squandered a great opportunity to be an amazing company through greed and an inability to listen to feedback and overwhelming signals in the market that should have prompted them to shift strategy. The carelessness of handling sensitive information like salaries and the upcoming RIF was shocking to say the least. Open slack channels and google sheets with employee salaries not only revealed the incompetence but also how they value some employees over others based on salaries. They would tell you you are at the max salary then leak a doc that shows your peers (with exact same experience) at much higher salaries. The constant price increases while competitors were lowering prices cost us so much business. They need to be honest with themselves about their actual value in the modern data stack. ETL is the least important piece yet our prices were often more than our partner technology of greater importance. Lastly, diversity at this company is a joke. When they weren't hitting KPIs for increasing diversity, they decided to change the metric they were tracking. Instead of tracking talent hired, they tracked talent that made it to final interviews. Which doesn't matter if the candidate isn't actually hired.

Pros

Great people to work with, workload provides great work/life balance

Cons

Leadership is terrible - individual contributor level is full of ambitious people who are frustrated due to poor management from director+ levels. Career development is a joke. Good luck getting a promotion.
