Very distributed, diversified, and open-minded. Folks get hired wherever they are if they are good and deliver. Remote employees don't feel isolated at all.
-
The technology is top-notch, and we have great traction in the market.
-
Awesome founders. CTO and visionary Shay keeps us on a clear mission.
-
The management team is really stellar, with seasoned folks from VMware, SFDC, Springsource, etc.
-
We are getting new features and releases all the time.

Overall, a very fun and functional company to work for.
As with any open source software co, monetizing is always a balancing act. We do it pretty well.
Quotas for sales are high. Big pipelines though, requires great discipline and bandwidth.
A bit too many distractions as with any OSS, between events, open floor offices, trainings, meetups, etc.
Keep up the awesome leadership and management.
Try to keep quotas realistic.
Treat the existing employees well to retain culture and build trust within.
