It doesn't take much ambition to be well regarded here. Prepare to shine amidst mediocrity.

Work-life balance is easy to achieve, especially if you're among the many who own nothing important and live in production.

Nice benefits and loads of free food/snacks.

Good gig right out of university and potentially to maintain green card status.

Markets itself well as a workplace and product. Strong brand.

A good product for a certain slice of use cases (20%).

Dope office location and buildings in Fremont.

A solid flare of individuality around the office.

College campus 2.0. You can easily find your people here if that's your prerogative.

Good values.

Welcome to a company trying to be a SaaS and having no idea how to execute or support that effort.

• Low pay. Laughably low for many engineering roles.
• Operations is a joke; stuck in a bygone Sys Admin era. DevOps? What's that?
• Dev talent here is few and far between.
• Pockets of bro-culture.
• New products are lackluster.
• Clunky product for 80% of use cases. Real-time nothing. Visually repulsive compared to a library like d3 or even Power BI.
• Super expensive product considering competition.
• There's way more middle-management in-fighting and jockeying than you'd ever know as an IC.
• Senior management might as well live on the moon. So very disconnected.

Pay people what they're worth in the marketplace that is here and now, not that of 6-8 years ago.

Hire more senior talent and less grads. Cheap labor doesn't pay off in software.

Figure out what service ownership actually means in the SaaS world and do it.

Send ambitious people to conferences OTHER THAN YOUR OWN. This is a given at almost any tech shop.
