Pros

You work with world-class people. You have endless opportunities to utilize your strengths. You learn extremely fast and have a high degree of visibility and accountability. Competitive pay with Big Tech. The culture is positively competitive. Everyone competes but builds each other up while doing it. This is hard to create in a company.

Cons

It’s growing really fast, so you need to be the one to define the vision and direction for your career.

In sales, the teams can feel disorganized.

Training is there, but maybe not completely relevant. The onboarding could be more connected to the day-to-day work.

Advice to Management

Focus on the customer journey when organizing teams. Currently, Solution Architects and Account Executives have exponentially compounding volumes of responsibility, thus making them somewhat ineffective on both sides of pre- and post-sales. Develop a more clear post-sales and account growth strategy, and create more clear swim lanes for that, pre-sales, and evangelism activity.
