Pros

Customer Support are literal superheroes keeping the product alive. Cool tech and vision.

Cons

Terrible pay compared to industry. Terrible quotas (15% of the company made quota, they cancelled club 2x in a row) Product stability No HR / employee support Terrible benefits. Many people use their spouse’s benefits. Stock grants are garbage now. Are we ever going to IPO? “We’re not a hardware company” and we don’t get paid on HW except our entire lives revolve around it. Zero postsales support. You’d better like living in a datacenter, doing your own installs, and everything. They love playing games with expenses.

Pros

Great company potential with longerm possible growth.

Cons

Toxic leadership will destroy the company from the inside out. Literally no HR; they don't pay comissions if you decide to leave. Lots of selling things not currently on the truck. Software features are sold on a futures basis Leadership doesn't respect family time; calls all times of the day and no days off. Leaders will call you on your vacation and scream at you if you don't answer.
