You get to work with nice people. The tech works.
The company hasn’t hit it’s numbers ever. They will tell you they do and back it up with strong growth percentages. What they don’t tell you is that all the goodness comes from 1 government customer. Not enterprise. If you are on the Fed team you might be ok but commercial enterprise is a joke. Be prepared to starve. The latest take-away is renewals. You won’t even get that in your patch. CS has it. You’ll get a small spif for helping close the renewal. Terrible leadership team. Founders are still running the company and clearly not qualified to. Product is heavily favored over any other department and is slowly running the place in to the ground. Worst engineering leadership ever. Stay away. More layoffs coming. A big one in April because they will miss Q1. What’s new? But now they are laying off instead of looking in the mirror. But that’s to be expected. It’s NEVER the C-suites fault. Just keep firing the sales people. Oh wait - that hasn’t worked either! What happens when they miss Q2? More layoffs thats what.
