Pros

- Good office perks generally across most hubs - Strong brand awareness - Good internal IT tooling and devices - Benefits are not terrible - Spend where they need to on events and marketing

Cons

- Stagnating product development (at LEAST a 2/3 year malaise). - Multiple flops in recent years have caused retention and messaging issues that are being realised by both the market and analysts. - Competition rapidly advancing and in many cases overtaking Contentful's position. - Lagging AI thought leadership that is able to be articulated or actioned to customers. Most of what is shipping or plan to has already been done a year ago by other solutions on the market. - Clear lack of trust between US & EMEA teams. - German works council (for better or worse) has further cemented isolation of the Berlin hub away from the rest of the company and scaling plans - No clear exit path in sight
