Pros

1. Here engineers really listen to fellow engineer ideas, even they are not completely sound at its first go. This is particularly important when you are new, and just trying to adjust yourself to new company. It helped me a lot on personal level. 2. The product is pretty much used by very big companies, that means that there are always good amount of real world problems at the hand. 3. Work culture allows you to grow at your pace. That is great thing to be, and since it is a startup, you have high exposure to ongoing activities in various teams. That adds a lot to how you want to grow. 4. Palo Alto has great energy that inspires you to work, but Bengaluru office is not far behind. We recently had a lot of experienced hires as well as fresh hires, and work energy at Bengaluru office is turning up.

Cons

1. Since it is a startup, there are many workflows that are not completely sorted out, but it has been getting better. One thing here is that you can do active feedback, and those feedback are taken very seriously here.

Hearing this from someone in Finance, where the work is demanding and the margin for error is small, genuinely means a lot. The fact that you're experiencing the culture as values-driven and not just values-stated is exactly what we're working hard to build. The pace is real and so is the opportunity, and we're glad that combination is landing as energizing rather than exhausting. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

Pros

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

Cons

- burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
