Pros

They have a compelling multi-cloud offering.

Cons

The product lacks quality support, clear direction, and competitive pricing. The culture could be great, but leadership responds to unpredictability or volatility with micro-inspection and a "my way" mentality, filling your calendar with mind-numbing meetings.

Pros

Decent salary, good international travel opportunities, interesting and kind colleagues

Cons

Executive leadership has no vision or appetite to stick to a plan. Despite hiring many people with the experience and skillset to win, leadership routinely ignores advice from within the house, over-commits to half-baked plans, assigns the wrong people to tasks, and then is unwilling to take accountability for continuously failing to deliver anything new.
