Pros
- Huge TAM, state of the art product. The company's growth will continue in the long run. This makes the stock comp very attractive - Company is well run with outstanding leadership. The fact that we raised capital right before the tech winter in 2022 allowed us to continue invest aggressively (one of the few tech companies rn without layoff risks!!) - Fast-paced environment, lots of work and scaling taking place ahead of looming IPO - Pay raise happens often if you do a good job. It is decoupled from title promotion, which is great (too often title promotions create top-heavy company hierarchies, which is not the case at DB)
Kontras
- Company internal systems need improvement to handle the continuously ramping volume and shortened time to close books ahead of the IPO
