The product is good and differentiated from competition when use case is correct
Sigma benefits from Snowflake/Databricks market tailwinds
Commercial sales org is a machine
Growth, NDR metrics are solid
Minpunten
CEO - No other C Level Execs in the company (red flag).
Immature enterprise go to market / product market fit in enterprise
Bad culture (due to CEO micro-management). Lack of innovation and decision autonomy
Too reliant on partner sales motion

Thank you for your feedback and comments - we 100% agree that our product is great and differentiated - we are very proud of both the product innovation and the Sales motion that is driving our industry leading growth and NDR rates. As you know, our Leadership team is growing - we have some exciting additions to our C Level team coming over the next few weeks (btw - our CTO and CPO are very disappointed you missed them :) )
Simply calling this organization political doesn't illustrate how conniving leadership is here. Strong favoritism and disregard for merit. Saw really talented individuals sabotaged because their existence undermined another's agenda.
Falling behind on AI. We used to be the innovative company in this space but now we're months behind from our competitors. Our success historically has nothing to do with our capabilities it's how we brand our capabilities. We do much more selling of our roadmap versus selling what we actually do.
Leadership is just looking for a liquidity event to line their pockets and dip. When a company's sole purpose is to cash out it means they don't see long-term value in our space. Great companies that will be around for the long run are looking to capture market, organizations with little to contribute to a space look to get paid out. We'll be another Sisense, Domo, or thoughtspot nothing more.
If you are good at brown nosing this is the place for you. But even then you'll stay in your seat forever. There is little upward mobility in this company. They look to pay for external talent over generating a culture of growth. Not a good place to be early on in your career. When you build an army of mercenaries everyone flees at this first sign of trouble.
