Vantaggi
-Best PMF...this company is minting money. Best PLG motion I've ever encountered in the market (flip side in Cons). -Great brand. -Some very smart people working here - company attracts great talent (recently). -Cash and equity comp are pretty good. -Growth almost on auto drive (flip side in Cons) -Innovative (v0, Firewall by default etc.) but with the right balance of marketing BS (Frontend Cloud...WT$?? lol) -Best developer and product velocity - releasing hype worthy features almost every week.
Svantaggi
-Poor culture. Inner circle that's been at the company for 3+ years have uneven influence and has maturity of a toddler. They're hyper sensitive, gossips and sabotages, and creates rumors about others, especially new hires, that snowballs into HRs radar....if you want to be a human and connect with other humans RUN! -Some teams have highly toxic subculture. -Company being run almost at the same pulse as Twitter (twitter-sphere often controls narrative) and HR in reactionary mode playing whack-a-mole. -DEI overkill but Zoom calls look like a mix of Greenwich, CT country club & SF tech bros. -Inexperienced 1st time managers hired equally inexperienced people during the growth spike in 2021 and now there's a company-wide clean up - just look at former employees on LI. -Unclear what GTM teams really do, no clear Enterprise fit. -GTM an afterthought, IC Engineer first over other personas and ENT segment (not a bad thing but stop wasting time trying to be something you're not). -Heavily engineering & product skewed which is fine but this means customer facing teams take a backseat and coupled with...next point. -Weak leadership that's not able to go toe-to-toe with engineering leadership...CPO & CTO are wicked smart and fairly seasoned but outside of this there's still a lot of work to be done with getting seasoned operators to run the other functions -Need adults at the top. Immature leadership and often first time doing X role (CxO, SVP, VP, Director etc.) people who are part of the inner circle causing inefficiencies and should have no business making critical decisions. They're clueless about how much they suck and the pain they're causing everyone around them. -With growth almost on auto drive there's little to no oversight from the board/investors so everyone below the exec team suffers.
