Pros

The products and solutions are solid and leaders in the CI/CD space. The company is targeting an IPO sometime in the next 5 years or so. The CEO is well respected in the industry and has founded numerous successful companies.

Cons

The culture in sales is just gross. Leadership is pathetic and got to their ranks by knowing the right people, not because of prior success or putting in the work. It truly feels like how you'd expect a stereotypical good ole boy fraternity would feel like. It starts at the CRO level and works its way down all the way to the RVP level. Super toxic and fear-led type of management. You'll get publicly ridiculed in front of your peers if you're struggling. The solutions, while top notch, take a good 9-12 months to get a good grasp on. However, if you're not producing and hitting your numbers within 12 months, you better start packing your bags. I saw this over and over and over again during my tenure. You can make good money here, but be prepared to give up your soul in doing so.

Pros

It’s a paycheck. Good brand recognition.

Cons

Terrible culture. People fail to plan, then expect everybody else to scramble and spend their nights and weekends reacting to demands within ridiculous timelines. Nothing that you’re doing is so important that it’s worth constantly burning everyone out.
