Pros

Fixing just a handful of issues will turn this is into a 5+++ star company. I believe our CEO Ashu cares for the people that work here and wants to see our culture improve. Our clients are making real impacts with our solution in areas like diversity, employee development, and creating equal opportunity for everyone. The talent intelligence suite is the best in the industry and will be for a long time. Eightfold will change the world. Very smart people work here.

Cons

M.I.C.R.O. M.A.N.A.G.E.M.E.N.T. is awful. Low diversity at manager and leadership levels, especially in product, client facing, and executive teams. There are critics everywhere and public criticism is the norm. It’s a “company-first” culture. We care more about hitting the deliverables and the number for the quarter than we do about the mental well-being of the employee or the facts of life and business for our clients. Personal relationships have led to people being put into jobs that should not be there (Apttus culture is 100% a thing here). Psychological safety doesn’t exist.

Pros

As a recent hire, my onboarding experience has been surprisingly smooth. Like any high-growth technology company, there is definitely some "drinking from the fire hose" in the first few weeks, but that's largely because there is so much happening across the business. The team has been welcoming, supportive, and willing to invest time in helping new employees ramp up. What has stood out most is the company's vision and the pace of innovation. It feels like there is a constant stream of product announcements, new capabilities, and customer momentum. If you're someone who enjoys being close to emerging AI technology and wants to help shape the future rather than maintain the status quo, there's a lot to be excited about here. The people are smart, collaborative, and genuinely passionate about solving complex problems. There is also a strong sense of ownership and opportunity to make an impact regardless of tenure.

Cons

The pace is not for everyone. Priorities can move quickly as the company responds to market opportunities, and you should be prepared to learn fast and navigate some ambiguity. Having a proactive mindset is important.

Pros

They pay top dollar, but that comes at a cost of you working your butt off and still feeling like you might lose your job tomorrow.

Cons

Easily the worst company I have worked at. The foundational pieces of a culture from work life balance, basic psychological safety, opportunity to work with kind leaders who lead…were absolutely missing and lacking. From waking up to too many fire drill Slack messages, to working late at night, to being ridiculed by leadership, I can’t tell you how many horror stories I have gained. It’s truly sad because there are so many really good ICs and a couple fantastic leaders (but they couldn’t shift the culture alone). I am so happy I no longer work here. Not to mention the product was so aspirational to the extent that it was hard to tell what value was being received by customers. Churn was high and it is a miracle that customers stayed…The CS team worked endlessly to keep them. I actually feel horrible sharing all this, but I’m inclined to because unless it has made a complete 180 in the last year, this is not a place I’d ever recommend.
