Pros

Company has the technology to bring a Google-like experience to the business world. The proposition is not another unicorn that'll go IPO in 2 years, but a company that'll be used by every business 10 years from now - Fantastic product AND roadmap / vision - Great marketing presence - Top notch senior leadership - Surprisingly strong culture with ~500 people - Collaborate environment without the fake nicety - People are eager and motivated to work for the vision, each other and leadership

Cons

- Technology is almost too simple and extensible that it's hard to quantity the value. It's like seeing Google for the first time and not knowing why it would be the single most important web technology we can't live without 20 years later. - Nobody gets the name hearing it the first time "What Spot? Dog Spot?"

Pros

Competitive salaries, supportive leadership, lunch stipend for those in office, decent benefits, embracing AI, truly trust in their employees, volunteer days, unlimited PTO, work life flexibility, positive and exciting culture. Honestly-- I like coming to work and I really enjoy the people I get to work with. Not a lot of my peers in my same function, but at different companies, can say that.

Cons

Can feel isolating as many of us are remote. Often only the sales team is allowed to incur travel.

Pros

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

Cons

- burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
