    Choose your destiny

    4.0

    Current Employee / Solutions Sales Specialist

    Pros: Benefits are great, brand holds value with enterprises, flexible work timings, no RTO at least in my org, laggard in the AI race but still in the running.

    Cons: 🥜 is the most used emoji in comp discussions internally. Culture differs from org to org and team to team, it has become more cut throat in recent years than it ever was.
