Pros

- Location - Somewhat interesting product space - The company has done reasonably well financially

Cons

- CEO runs it like his personal fiefdom and is a slave-driver; lots of execs and senior management staff have come and gone over the years. - The 4 founders have this weird co-dependency relationship where they bitterly criticize each other in private, but have stuck it out with each other all these years - There's no real joy in this place - CEO is untrustworthy - the code-base is messy, lots of long-term issues, a pain in the rear to deal with for the most part - No real career opportunities

Pros

Great benefits and great people to work with. The product itself is a great and superior product.

Cons

No training. No pipeline. No real support for SMB. You are basically a glorified SDR. Any real leads come from events or if you have good install base accounts. Hardly any good inbounds come and and if you do get a good and decent size inbound, they take it away from you to give to a mid-market rep. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. If you don't mind constantly grinding, go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend looking else where.
