Pros
- There are genuinely great people working here - I don't doubt that most folks here have good intentions. However, processes and culture is still very much at 'start up' level, which doesn't reflect the size of the company now. - You will get lots of broad experience in a variety of areas
Cons
Having read through the other reviews below, some of the things that resonated with my own experience: - Your experience outside of Intercom is not considered or valued as 'real' experience, and your expertise will be treated just as same as someone with no experience in the area you work. This is a company that has grown quickly from being a start up , so there are managers who have been promoted without any experience in specialist areas, just opinions. Opinions and experience are given equal value. - Processes haven't really developed beyond start-up. So for a company with close to 700 employees, this doesn't work. You will read in responses to reviews that much of the feedback is put down to 'growing pains' - however the company takes a long time to take any action to rectify those pains. Employee feedback from a year ago is still being 'worked on' - with plans shelved ahead of another round of employee feedback to see if people still feel the same way. - Growth is not always encouraged. This is my own experience here, where career growth discussions were actively avoided by manager, and then was told in no uncertain terms that my role would only grow if the team got bigger. I'm sure this isn't the same in every team, but in more specialist areas don't expect to grow your career quickly at Intercom.
