Avantages

Great product. Customers love the product and it truly is disrupting Enterprise Data Warehousing. Good CEO with solid intentions and desired company values.

Inconvénients

The unicorn status and huge rounds of funding has led to the influx of big company executives and they’re bringing in ‘their people’ — irrespective of role or job suitability. The company has gone from under 200 employees to almost 1,000 in less than 2 years. Tremendous growth and culture scaling challenges ensuing. Good people are suddenly let go while random roles are created and being hired without much process. Managers need training— there is a sub-culture of sarcastic humor, disrespectful toxicity and putting people down in certain groups.

Avantages

Flexibility of working remotely for remote workers, reimbursement for cell phone and gym expenses (remote workers). Pay is decent. Company viability seems relatively good.

Inconvénients

Company culture and morale tanked when the current ELT came onboard. Strong surveillance culture, shady communication, sneaky layoffs are becoming a new norm with this ELT. Opportunities for career growth are much more limited now. Benefits are getting cut - “unlimited PTO” is limited, reduced company holidays. Stock based compensation is stingy at best. Even as a top performer , don’t count on getting equity refreshes or raises. Intent on replacing humans with AI vs augmenting human work with AI.
