Amazing culture but high uncertainty

Business Outlook

Pros

I really liked my peers and had both, great learnings and fun at work. I appreciate opportunities given to me to grow as a sales but also as a person that gave me sense of belonging in the company.

Cons

Strategy is not very clear and there is a huge room of improvement in terms of settings realistic expectations for employees. That creates huge anxiety, demotivation and lack of trust for the management. I´m afraid that this is only getting worse.

Reasonable and smart people, in general

Pros

Truly multicultural and unique office in Palo Alto. Management is reasonable and perceptive, most of the time. Pretty flat structured company. 1x1 with colleagues 2-3 levels above are pretty common. You don't feel abandoned in a maze, people always want to help. One of the best benefits and pay in industry.

Cons

Like any live and evolving company, has it's own issues. When a project takes cross Atlantic teams involvement it may become a problem. Some processes are very slow. Company is competing with major giants in the industry but this is also makes this a good challenge.
