Pros

Good OTE but you'll never hit your number. The people who do well have been there from the start and have a hold out on all good accounts.

Cons

Terrible leadership! Sales org in EMEA is being run into the ground by people who don't have a clue what they are doing and have the worst people skills on the planet. No good qualities about them from a personal and professional level and you'll lose all ambition and faith in humanity after your first meeting or 1:1 with them. If you're thinking of joining just do your homework

Pros

Great salary, I work on a team that has excellent balance. I get recognized when I do good work.

Cons

Company has a big focus on AI, but not sure we’re all marching in the same direction and often doesn’t feel like a good use of resources.

Pros

* Remote-first culture with flexibility. * Competitive market-rate compensation.

Cons

* **Too many layers of management.** There are excessive management layers that often create bottlenecks and encourage micromanagement instead of empowering employees to better serve customers and build great products. * **Lack of investment in IC.** Many teams remain understaffed, resulting in consistently high workloads. Burnout is common, and employees are frequently expected to take on responsibilities well beyond their role and pay band without recognition. * **"Flexible PTO" doesn't feel truly flexible.** While the company advertises flexible PTO, in practice there appears to be an informal limit/fake. Taking around three weeks or more of PTO can draw leadership attention, and it can feel like using the benefit may negatively affect performance reviews, even when work expectations are met. This discourages employees from taking the time off they need to recharge.
