Pros

Incredible learning environment if you’re hungry to work in a fast-paced, constantly evolving company and willing to step outside your comfort zone. Huge opportunity to build practical AI skillset : our AI suite, encompassing generative and agentic, is one of a kind in terms of functionality. Using it daily and selling it to customers, we're at the forefront of the AI wave which is an exciting place to be. Strong team in EMEA, you’re surrounded by smart, high-performing people. Interesting, varied projects that keep the work engaging. Good tools and resources to do your job effectively. Good benefits, including dental/health insurance and retirement matching, wellness stipend, learning stipend, stocks and maternity/paternity benefit.

Cons

Nothing especially unusual for a scale-up, but there have been waves of layoffs and the growing pains that come with a company evolving quickly. At times, that can create stress, uncertainty, and periods where burnout feels very real. There are still some silos and operational teething issues that can make things harder than they need to be. That said, those trade-offs are part of joining a business at this stage, and for me the value, progress, and opportunity have outweighed them. I wouldn’t still be here four years later otherwise.

Pros

Some smart, ambitious people who you can learn a lot from.

Cons

This place is an unstable, toxic mess, and leadership is largely to blame. The C-suite is full of egos and seems to make goals and quotas up out of thin air, then cleans up the fallout from poor planning and overhiring with layoffs. There have been three company-wide mass layoffs in less than four years, and that doesn’t even include the many layoffs that have happened quietly behind closed doors. The toxicity at the top trickles down through the entire organization. VPs put pressure on middle management, who then pass that pressure on to ICs. The company can’t seem to keep leaders in place for more than six months, which creates constant chaos and confusion. Strategies are always changing, priorities shift every few months, and nothing ever sticks long enough to make a real impact. Promotions seem to be based more on politics, favoritism, and who can make the most noise than on actual performance. The same people get promoted year after year, and many of them seem underqualified for the titles they hold. If you’re good at self-promotion and have the right relationships, you’ll probably do fine. If you’re quietly doing great work, don’t expect the same recognition. HR keeps saying they’re working on improving the promotion process, but I haven’t seen much change. If you’re considering joining the GTM org (especially the operational side) I would think twice. The new leadership loves to talk about transformation, improvements, and exciting changes, but there’s usually very little follow through behind the messaging.
