I was approached by a member of their recruiting team on LinkedIn. I decided to take the call and hear more about them. When I dug a few lawyers deep I was impressed with what I saw. Ex Meraki founders and execs. The industry is HOT. Tech is solid. They have good glassdoor reviews. Things looked promising and i was genuinely excited. And then I went in for the interview... The office is a HORRIBLE. Located in a neighbourhood full of homeless people tents, sleeping bags and flies. I was greeted by a swarm of flies before the doors opened and the distaste continued inside. There was a sales pit to my left. I went there early (6am) since I am already employed and didn't want to take working hours off. Met the recruiter and 2 VPs. Post the interview I remember thinking - No way. No way in hell. Tenderloin's Toilet. Here are a few words to describe why: -SEEMED LIKE A HEAVILY MICRO MANAGED ENVIRONMENT -VPs didn't seem to inspire -I asked one of the VPs so tell me why I should work for you and he started fumbling his words. No good answer. All he could muster up is "join the rocketship"... Seriously? -Kitchen reeked of rotten something -No decent "Valley" perks -It's a startup with the startup culture :( Long store short if you are an experienced AE with 5+ years of SaaS experience - This isn't the place for you. If you are still junior and want to battle it out in the trenches then go for it. But I'd still recommend against it as I've been to so many better companies with better culture and better people! The only good part was being interviewed by the founder - Sanjit Biswas - who was humble and intelligent.

The recruiter that talked to me was pretty much not in a good mood I felt like. He got laid off from his last job and respectfully I could see why.
