Pros

Fantastic team with great tech and non-tech people. The technology is cutting-edge and used in most enterprises globally. The company (i.e. people and revenue) is growing fast. The executive team wants to keep the startup culture as much as possible even when the company gets much bigger.

Cons

Startup culture with small team (100+ people in 2017), only two offices (Palo Alto, London). You have to like this (I do).

Pros

Great product, strong leadership, and talented people across the organization. Excellent place to learn enterprise SaaS sales and grow quickly as an SDR. Supportive team culture, good training, and a fast-paced environment with many opportunities to work with large global accounts. Strong compensation and career development opportunities for high performers.

Cons

Since the IBM acquisition, there has been uncertainty around the future structure and career path for SDRs. Communication could be more transparent regarding organizational changes, promotion opportunities, and long-term strategy for the SDR organization.
