Pros

Azul has a very good compensation package and benefits plan. The technology and support are very good. The company culture is a positive, sharing, inclusive team. They believe in sharing the good news and announcing sales wins on a regular basis so the entire company can celebrate. The positive influence starts with the CEO. He is very supportive of all his employees and he makes an effort to meet all new employees and to talk with everyone as often as possible. He is clearly trying to keep his finger on the pulse of the company.

Cons

There is a 401K but there is no matching yet. Brand recognition could use some help and additional dollars to get more views.

Pros

Work/life balance, nice people. Remote work - no pressure to report to an office, and they will feed you lunch if you do.

Cons

Here's how things seem to work there: it's a privately held company. Every 5 to 10 years, a new set of investors are lured in when the previous investors get nervous. A new deal is struck, the previous investors are paid off (whatever remains is shared with employees via a completely inscrutable obfuscatory equity sharing plan), and as part of the investment deal, a new set of C levels are brought in alongside the CEO and CTO (they are the founders - they seem able to maintain their seats). The current regime beats on sales relentlessly - management by bullying and PIP. There was a revolving door in Sales - over the course of 18 months, 9 people in sales were given the boot. One or two left of their own accord but most of the others were simply dismissed, including a VP and several Sales Directors who were dismissed less than 6 months after being hired. Also, there is a double standard - somehow, female sales reps are not treated as harshly as males. Some of them are allowed to get away with murder - bypassing their sales engineers and going directly to senior management to use PM and technical directors for field work. Many times I have seen sales engineers treated like secretaries - and in at least one instance, an SE was told to "stay in your lane" by a new female sales rep. Management does nothing about this, so if you are an SE I advise you to steer clear.
