Layoffs across all depts Bullying Who knows if the company will ever IPO or go bust, its a big gamble You get to work in a crappy Wework Ask for the tenure of your team before you start, most are less than 1 year, this will be the clear indicator of a poor culture.

Pros

- great people - amazing product that sells itself once people get their hands on it - innovative company - decent ote and benefits

Cons

- comp plan this year for hunters is not aligned with company strategy of focusing on larger, multi-year commits. it incentivizes quantity of deals vs. quality of deals, and payouts on commit $$$ are peanuts.
