You're not a person here; you're a KPI in human form
Pros
Great product. Benefits and pay are pretty solid.
Cons
The sales and SE organization at Cribl is heavily metrics-driven, which is pretty common, but it takes it to the extreme—everything you do is measured and tracked. You are now simply a number on a dashboard. Everything from demos to POC conversions, your certs received, content packs created and dozens of other metrics only visible to managers will be tracked. The SE "leadership" wants you to feel the pressure that you could loose your job at any moment irrespective of circumstances out of your control. The 1:1 with your manager will be entirely spent reviewing these metrics with you every week to make sure you feel the pressure. It would seem the main goal of management meetings is to determine who to put on PIPs and manage out to make room for the next batch of candidates to repeat the process with. Finally, the SE leadership will never stand up for you when account executives put all the blame you for missing their quota due to a lack of pipeline generation or their inability to secure meetings.
