Pros

The smartest people I ever worked with. Founders are great guys, clever and caring about employees. The environment is really friendly, creative, young and talented. Office is full of perks such as stocked kitchen, catered lunches, 360 degrees view of downtown San Francisco and games/toys everywhere. If you'd like to try the challenges of a startup, this is definitely the place to be. Flexibility is required to fulfil the many needs of a young and quickly growing company. Very different environment (much more dynamic and fun) if compared to a corporate. Everyone knows everyone, tasks are completed quickly and efficiently, no time to waste time. Definitely a great place to work!

Cons

Not sure I can think about cons at the moment.

Pros

ThousandEyes is one of the best companies I have worked in. My experience here is pretty much a 5/5, but there is room for improvement, which should be reflected in the review. Let's go through the pros: - The people: You are working with a really talented group of engineers. There is always someone with the answer to what you are looking for. Pretty much everyone in the company is nice and willing to help but, like everywhere else, some people could work on their soft skills a little bit more. - Learning opportunities: It's easy to learn something new if you push for it. There are a lot of challenges in ThousandEyes trying to be solved, especially around scalability. - The product: You are working on a product with many users, so you can see the impact of your changes and the feedback from customers. You will also learn a lot about networks, no matter the team you are in. - The culture: There are events going on all the time: All Hands, Hackdays, team activities... - Your wellbeing: Some of the managers and the big leads care about you and your wellbeing and there are resources for whatever you need. They are also quite flexible with your needs, and always open to help. - Transparency-ish: In general terms, the company is transparent. Leads answer the most controversial questions in the All Hands and always encourage to reach them out to help them make things better.

Cons

- Some of the managers: It depends on the team. You can be lucky and work with some of the best managers you have ever worked with, our you can end up in a team with managers that (seriously) need to do better. Some of them have the experience to be managers, but not the soft skills needed for the role. If they get better at this, the employee experience would be way better. - Priorities: Priorities are some days clear and some days not. It's a fast-paced company, and there are a lot of things going on inside (Cisco's acquisition, new big customers, new features to release, customers-specific requirements...). Trying to keep all of this up is hard, and it has an impact when defining the priorities because things are constantly changing. This is a big problem in the work-life balance and it also demotivates people seeing how some of the projects they were committed to never end. - The "ish" in Transparency: Some of the biggest decisions made by the company were not shared as they should have had. The CEO addressed this problem later on and that was greatly appreciated. These cons are the main reason why this company is good but can be better. I would say the rating could be a 4/5, but the company is open to feedback and changes, and hopefully willing to deal with these problems.
