Pros

The product is second to none - simple, powerful and works as advertised. Great corporate culture - open & straightforward, move fast, challenge and take responsibility. CEO, COO, CTO and other older management actually live by these values. Vision executed to perfection - from startup to IPO to industry leader.

Cons

New management jumped on the the gravy train and only pay lip service to corporate values. Too many middle managers with randomly generated job titles justifying their existence creating unproductive work for others - endless powerpoint and meetings culture creeping in. Not enough perks or opportunities outside US or Europe - poorly run offices, unskilled sales teams,... Product vision unclear - all the focus is on one competitor

Pros

Transparency, work/life balance, everyone here is treated as an adult, autonomy, benefits are great for the USA, people here are very intelligent, kind, honest, and hardworking.

Cons

Corporate bonuses are only paid to director level and above. I wish some sort of bonus was paid to everyone.
