Pros

The salary is great and the technology is inspiring.

Cons

There does not seem to be any consideration for work/life balance with some managers just saying get used to working all hours of the day. There is no bonus structure and no 401k match so your salary is your only compensation. Politics are playing a bigger role with managers free to hire and advance friends from prior companies. Diversity driven discrimination looks to be growing as well.

Pros

- great people - amazing product that sells itself once people get their hands on it - innovative company - decent ote and benefits

Cons

- comp plan this year for hunters is not aligned with company strategy of focusing on larger, multi-year commits. it incentivizes quantity of deals vs. quality of deals, and payouts on commit $$$ are peanuts.
