Pluspunten

I've been with Azul for a number of years in a sales role, enterprise. I am making WAY MORE money than at my previous four companies (3 huge established tech companies everyone would know and one start up). We have grown considerably the last 4 years, The people who helped start Azul are mostly still here and very involved. That PLUS the new leadership and we are growing, managing the chaos, having fun and making serious money. If you want to work strategic accounts (the same 30-40 companies you've always sold to) this isn't the place for you. But if you can network, pitch, hunt & sell you will make serious money here.

Minpunten

Getting the word out with Marketing is tough. No one's fault, and a small company solving such a huge problem that no one else is addressing is likely why positioning ourselves is so hard. We have almost no competition, prospects have to be informed about how we solve their OpenJDK & Java TCO license issues and our presence as well as our solutions is fairly often completely unknown. The tide is turning, but it is taking a while for IT decision makers to understand the problem - and our solution.

Pluspunten

Work/life balance, nice people. Remote work - no pressure to report to an office, and they will feed you lunch if you do.

Minpunten

Here's how things seem to work there: it's a privately held company. Every 5 to 10 years, a new set of investors are lured in when the previous investors get nervous. A new deal is struck, the previous investors are paid off (whatever remains is shared with employees via a completely inscrutable obfuscatory equity sharing plan), and as part of the investment deal, a new set of C levels are brought in alongside the CEO and CTO (they are the founders - they seem able to maintain their seats). The current regime beats on sales relentlessly - management by bullying and PIP. There was a revolving door in Sales - over the course of 18 months, 9 people in sales were given the boot. One or two left of their own accord but most of the others were simply dismissed, including a VP and several Sales Directors who were dismissed less than 6 months after being hired. Also, there is a double standard - somehow, female sales reps are not treated as harshly as males. Some of them are allowed to get away with murder - bypassing their sales engineers and going directly to senior management to use PM and technical directors for field work. Many times I have seen sales engineers treated like secretaries - and in at least one instance, an SE was told to "stay in your lane" by a new female sales rep. Management does nothing about this, so if you are an SE I advise you to steer clear.
