Pros

- Has a culture that is more "woke" compared to others. As a company it's been trying to actively foster an environment that is open to feedback and change. - Great benefits during WFH

Cons

- Most of management in Sales is from Salesforce, Dropbox, Box, where they have worked with each other in the past - You can be promoted here to an entirely new pay grade with zero merit increase which is shocking
