Pros

Interesting customer use cases with large enterprise customers

Cons

Executive team is inexperienced at scaling a start-up. The leadership team is not transparent with employees. Towards the end of 2023, they kept saying the company had enough capital to weather any downturn......Revenue fell off significantly and they did two poorly executed rounds of layoffs. They dismantled the entire sales team. The leadership team might have received a pay out on one of the funding rounds and there is little motivation to create valued equity for the remaining employees. They provided very little transparency on the value of employee stock. The Eng team keeps investing in the development of 5 different products that are plagued with bugs and have limited value compared to the competition. Services mesh adoption is questionable with many large customers. No clear long term vision for any sort of exit event.

Pros

Many people are great to work with

Cons

Immature leadership. Sales VP is running the company for some reason? Speed is valued above all else. Attempts to create efficiency or to implement processes are met with disdain. They want to move so fast that they end up slowing everything down by being unprepared and with only vague ideas of how things will actually be accomplished.
