Pros

Great company in terms of growth, steady stream of interesting work, opportunities to contribute, freedom to follow passion and leadership support during COVID pandemic. Product is incredible and most customers love it.

Cons

No formal career competency model, or growth plan on the professional services team. Which is shocking for a company of this size.
