Pros

Cutting edge technology that adds value to orgs that get it.

Cons

Leadership is out of sync with the reality of the market. Trying to sell a grand vision that 3/4 of the market place aren't able to grasp. Sales team is very much feast or famine with the only deals closing those that have executive alignment or connections.

Pros

Unlimited PTO and smart people, who unfortunately are leaving.

Cons

Sales and technical teams are not always set up to succeed together, which creates unnecessary pressure on technical teams and contributes to burnout. There is a strong focus on growth, but employee retention does not receive the same attention. Compensation is not always competitive, and career advancement processes can feel inconsistent depending on the opportunities available to you. All approvals run up to founder level.
