Pros

Part of Pre-Sales Organization

Culture: Extremely employee-friendly culture. A culture of goodness. I can say this with authority as I have experienced and worked in multiple locations as a full-time employee (including the USA). The employee-first culture reflects in all aspects of the company. Very transparent and democratic approach to changes.

Benefits: Unmatched benefits, especially in the USA.

Product: 'Ease of Everything' reflects in all aspects of product development. While not from Engineering, I have been very much exposed to the PM and Engineering teams thanks to my role focused mainly on Large Accounts. Everyone from SREs to Staff Engineers to Pre-Sales SAs considers the product their own baby and is very vocal if any product change messes up with the 'easy and simple' part of the philosophy.

Technology: You are exposed to cutting-edge tech and processes irrespective of your team. Many joke about how our Cassandra core to manage metadata is no longer a NoSQL DB or how we made VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, etc., great again. Our KVM-based Hypervisor AHV gives a true enterprise-class experience. You are part of the next big thing and one of the highest-growing tech companies in the DC segment.

Cons

No major cons as of now.

Avoid ego fights with early builders at layers 2 and 3 (rare but they do occur) until you prove yourself within the system.

Advice to Management

Try to maintain the culture of goodness as we grow as a company.

Also, ensure that the politics around the "piece of pie" wouldn't occur, especially within the Sales Org.

The culture of sharing and winning it together in the Sales Org is very rare to find and should last as long as possible.
