Pros

The company goes out of its way to make remote employees feel part of the team. Our engineering teams (and the leadership of those teams) is world-class. This has propelled us in 18 months from "SparkPost .. who?" to "We're hearing a lot of good things about you". The exec team is very approachable, consistent and reasonable in what they ask the company to do. In my current role I get to wear both customer-facing and technical hats, which suits me just fine. Speaking of which, we have an amazing range of customers, with more coming onboard soon. Things are looking very positive right now.

Cons

No significant downsides in the culture, product, work approach, market segment or tools.

Pros

Great product, great people throughout the company. The business is prepared to invest in getting remote teams together for training and development. Very approachable senior management team. Incredible customer base and user community. Marketing and, especially, events punches well above their weight for the size of Message Systems.

Cons

The company size means that resources are constrained at times and the presence outside of the US is less solid that it could be. As always, sales roles are occasionally high pressure, especially around Financial Quarter ends. Commission structure is not always in line with the effort to close deals, nor the size of the deals.
