Pros

It’s a fast-growing startup! The work is complex and interesting, and there’s space to take ownership of features from start to finish. The design team is phenomenal and collaborative; there’s more creative support here than I’ve had at any other point in my career. The product designers are embedded into small “working pods” of engineers, so we get to work hand-in-hand with the engineers we’re building products with. Design is viewed as a core piece of the puzzle, we’re not brought in at the end to put lipstick on a pig. Our product is great, and the business is doing super well. It’s a great place to be if you’re looking to accelerate your career.

Cons

It’s a fast-growing startup. Processes are in flux and priorities can change without notice. Flexibility and speed are the keys to a successful tenure here. You’ll get autonomy in your work, but also a lot of the responsibility that comes along with it. It’s definitely not a “vest and rest” environment and at times can feel overwhelming.

We are so glad that you have found the work to be stimulating and the collaborative to us. Our approach of embedding designers into our Engineering pods is core to our design strategy. Our product is UX driven so it is crucial that design is front and center in our product development lifecycle. Thank you for your feedback - we are happy to have you on the team!

Strong talent Good pay and perks Large acv

Cons

Simply calling this organization political doesn't illustrate how conniving leadership is here. Strong favoritism and disregard for merit. Saw really talented individuals sabotaged because their existence undermined another's agenda. Falling behind on AI. We used to be the innovative company in this space but now we're months behind from our competitors. Our success historically has nothing to do with our capabilities it's how we brand our capabilities. We do much more selling of our roadmap versus selling what we actually do. Leadership is just looking for a liquidity event to line their pockets and dip. When a company's sole purpose is to cash out it means they don't see long-term value in our space. Great companies that will be around for the long run are looking to capture market, organizations with little to contribute to a space look to get paid out. We'll be another Sisense, Domo, or thoughtspot nothing more. If you are good at brown nosing this is the place for you. But even then you'll stay in your seat forever. There is little upward mobility in this company. They look to pay for external talent over generating a culture of growth. Not a good place to be early on in your career. When you build an army of mercenaries everyone flees at this first sign of trouble.
