Pros: Technical innovation at the heart of the company. Technology really works. Continuous focus on generating value by improving product offerings. Good understanding of business and technology with a mature balancing of the two. Great people to work with.

Cons: Growing pains on the sales side with processes. Too many layers of management. Sales management is not strong. Yes, the technology can be complex, but a rising tide can allow weak members to look like stars and get promotions.

Pros: Friendly, professional culture -- people help each other out. Amazing innovation and pace in the product team -- the product is constantly evolving and improving, and major new product areas have been captured each of the 3 years I've been here. Competitive pay and pre-IPO stock grants and liquidity.

Cons: The pace in this industry is fast, and the tech landscape is wide and deep. To succeed in pre-sales, you need to love to learn, be hands-on technical, and be able to manage a big to-do list.

Pros: - Very strong execs. Though it’s still got a startup feel, the execs (many are still co-founders, which is amazing) already act like they are running a public company with the vision and discipline it needs to succeed long-term. Ali is just brilliant. - Culture is great, as they take their cultural principles seriously, especially transparency and customer-first. I like that better than other start-ups I’ve worked at. - People are friendly and helpful. - Product positioning is great for this market and the needs from large enterprises.

Cons: - Product complexity (long-standing perception is still managed Spark with notebooks, which is no longer the focus). The company is laser-focused on making the product simpler, so that will finally change that perception and make the product more appealing and accessible to business people. - No 401k match (though other benefits are above industry standards, like fitness perks and RSUs).
