Pros

1. Here engineers really listen to fellow engineer ideas, even they are not completely sound at its first go. This is particularly important when you are new, and just trying to adjust yourself to new company. It helped me a lot on personal level. 2. The product is pretty much used by very big companies, that means that there are always good amount of real world problems at the hand. 3. Work culture allows you to grow at your pace. That is great thing to be, and since it is a startup, you have high exposure to ongoing activities in various teams. That adds a lot to how you want to grow. 4. Palo Alto has great energy that inspires you to work, but Bengaluru office is not far behind. We recently had a lot of experienced hires as well as fresh hires, and work energy at Bengaluru office is turning up.

Cons

1. Since it is a startup, there are many workflows that are not completely sorted out, but it has been getting better. One thing here is that you can do active feedback, and those feedback are taken very seriously here.

Pros

Competitive salaries, supportive leadership, lunch stipend for those in office, decent benefits, embracing AI, truly trust in their employees, volunteer days, unlimited PTO, work life flexibility, positive and exciting culture. Honestly-- I like coming to work and I really enjoy the people I get to work with. Not a lot of my peers in my same function, but at different companies, can say that.

Cons

Can feel isolating as many of us are remote. Often only the sales team is allowed to incur travel.

Pros

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

Cons

- burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
