Pros

Vastly superior technology in a growth market, leading to great ability to sell enterprise business and create business results. Good compensation and benefits for employees. Capable leadership. Some of the world's best engineers, no fooling.

Cons

I am compelled to react to several recent reviews referencing a different company. Charitably---these reviewers do not have a clue what they are talking about. I worked at that company and the culture was toxic. Eightfold does not in the slightest reflect that other company's culture. These reviewers' comments referencing another company border on defamation. Individuals who contributed to poor culture at another company do not work at Eightfold, full stop. Working with Eightfold teammates at another company has not bought me or anyone else any special privileges. People from the other company have failed here too. The reality is that this is going to be a challenging place to work because it is a hyper-growth company. We are here to win and to change the world. You achieve that goal by setting high expectations and meeting them. If that's not an environment for you, so be it---but please don't break wind on your way out the door. In truth, we've grown so fast and worked so hard during lockdown, I don't think there is a real culture anymore. I haven't met most of my direct teammates, let alone all of my colleagues. That said, I have never been treated badly here, or seen anyone abused or mistreated. I expect our work environment will grow to match the truly unique capability of our technology. I know our leaders well and they are sincere, thoughtful, and compassionate men AND women.

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.
