Pros

Exciting space Accelerating consolidation in this space Good VC money Interesting problems to solve

Cons

Inconsistent and arbitrary leadership style. Autocratic decision making from the top. A high level of executive and engineering churn over the last year points to an unsettled management team and style. While the product was quite bad and has improved this year, there's still a lot that needs to be done. But the biggest issue I see is that the management team plays favorites. If you're one of the favored ones life is good, but for the rest of us, it's a thankless slog.

Pros

Great benefits and great people to work with. The product itself is a great and superior product.

Cons

No training. No pipeline. No real support for SMB. You are basically a glorified SDR. Any real leads come from events or if you have good install base accounts. Hardly any good inbounds come and and if you do get a good and decent size inbound, they take it away from you to give to a mid-market rep. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. If you don't mind constantly grinding, go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend looking else where.
