      Pros

      > Lots of smart young driven people > Endless repeated declarations of transparency > If hired into a senior leadership position, incredibly strong culture of "rules for thee not for me"

      Cons

      > Massive layer of middle management: lots of old guard VPs with a single direct report fighting with each other in a zero-sum game to advance at the company (LOL to any recent joiners who think they have a chance) > Transparency without details means very little, in reality an incredibly opaque and secretive organization > Compensation is below industry averages but there's an entire compensation/HR/talent management team to help you convince your direct reports that they're wrong about that, plus shiny stock options to distract > Extremely hierarchical culture obsessed with oversight and busywork - "I NEVER accept a deliverable without insisting on a bunch of changes, because how else will my team know that I'm the boss?" > You get to watch senior leaders yell unspeakable things at their underlings with impunity (strong overtones of Oracle)

      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.
