Pros

- a lot of R&D and investment into product, customers really like the product and we iterate on new features quickly - good opportunity to sell, land new logos, expand and people are willing to take you up on cold PG efforts and hear more

Cons

- overly stressful work environment that doesn't give you warm and fuzzys - people disappear after having a great quarter, people are pushed out for not hitting 100% even though goals are barely attainable with a low average deal size and massive quarterly quota - you never feel safe here unless you hit 100% every quarter and if they don't vibe with you, you will be pushed out - there's no room for 70% or more attainment, not set up for success and reps are killing themselves scraping for tiny deals - Self service makes it hard to sell enterprise deals because huge price differential
