Vantaggi

Product is fantastic, with a great product market fit. Product leadership and engineering are going in the right direction in terms of evolving the product and offer to meet customer needs.

Svantaggi

Toxic culture, lack of trust between teams and lack of accountability for processes and performance within the sales organization. Lots of ex-Oracle people who brought their culture over. Morale is poor across different teams, a lot of it due to the problems above. Many feel like they are walking on eggshells most of the time and anybody who tries to suggest improvements are typically singled out, while being told the opposite(invite innovation and creativity, but then punish non-conformity and going against status quo). Typical of many scaleups, you have managers who lack training and support to transition from individual contributors to people managers which contributes to those issues. It seems sr. leadership recognized this and are implementing manager training programs.

Vantaggi

- Remote Work - Great flexibility with working from other locations - Unlimited PTO - Competitive compensation - Great health benefits - Autonomy to choose your projects and work, minimal micro-management

Svantaggi

- No 401K match (IBM does have some retirement contributions) - My org was very unstable and there was lots of restructuring / silent lay-offs/ firings that kept happening all year round. Constant pressure to perform - Very few people were driven and motivated. Many were simple coasting - IBM Acquisition is going to ruin the culture. Young, hip Mountain View tech company getting acquired by large legacy consulting company is a big cultural mismatch. Huge round of layoffs already done, expect more. Lot of voluntary exists since the acquisition announcement. Most people are not motivated enough anymore to work since pay, benefits, culture all will be eroded because of the acquisition. Not a lot of clarity on how the org will continue. Current leadership will not stay for long - Some of the senior leaders were un-inspirational and lack-lustre
