Pros

One of the fastest innovative place in the Data & AI space. Talented tech pool. The stock is doing good till now so equity payout is substantial, not sure if that will continue in coming years.

Cons

The grind culture is real. Either you move up or out, they fire a lot silently, so keep emergency fund ready. The company moves really fast, and sometime too fast for human employees. The product is promising but not perfect as they portray. Ask customers on their pain points. Work life balance is a real challenge. Great brand to add in your CV but very hard to sustain at this space with constant Sales and commercial pressure. Better to avoid if you have family and want peace rather, there are better places around for a little less money. This is a place for workaholic people only, period.

Pros

High growth outlook, manage to draw lots of talents from outside, innovative products, good brand name

Cons

Extremely overwhelming and pressurising place for new hires, not enough time for onboarding and ramping before letting them handle customers and deals, new product features and processes keep coming out too frequently
