Pros

Ok technology Everybody in the company is a GTM expert (heavy sarcasm!)

Cons

Absolutely terrible management team and culture. High ego, low maturity founders who have very limited business sense but still intrude in every single aspect of the company. Micromanagement on steroids prevails and the atmosphere is stifling. This is a textbook case of narcissistic engineers thinking they know everything and running the business to the dirt. In the end, the results show. The company has severely struggled to scale after close to 5 years in existence. But there is still plenty of talk about making AWS, GCP, Red Hat irrelevant. One of the other reviewers has even posted about getting to an IPO. Seriously? IPO? There is a small matter of revenue that seems to have been forgotten. Yes, startups have to fake it till they make it but cmon! Don’t join unless you want to just do what you are told or you are a masochist who would love to experience a Theranos like environment.

Pros

Supportive C Level, great work-life balance, incredible growth and opportunities right now, nimble in the product, customer centric

Cons

Formal processes around on-boarding are lacking, the tools to do your job are available but somewhat difficult to acquire (a lot of manual steps)

Pros

The company people are great there, there is a good conversation between peers and pretty upbeat.

Cons

There are too many meetings, they are still developing a product and have no real directions. The management has no idea what the worker bee's are doing. They will say one thing and do another. Honestly avoid this place if you want to keep your sanity.
