Top Performers Well Compensated, No Lack of Innovation - Enterprise Account Director Pendo Employee Review

Pendo is fast-paced and not afraid to try new things. I've been here for a little over a year and am consistently surprised at how much change my team has been able to drive in such a short period of time.

As stated in the 'pro' section, Pendo tries new things! That is not for everyone. Part of trying a lot of new things is that some of them don't work as intended, and you have to pivot from there. Leaders are not always great at change management, so not all of the experiments that end in pivots feel well thought out the further removed from decision making that you are. I've worked in a lot of different environments and would rather be in a company that tries things than one that let's 'this is how we do it' calcify into something that can't be questioned or changed.

As an engineer, the problems we solve are very interesting and at high-scale.

Crackdown in terms of metric-oriented developer productivity, but there is little accountability given to the product org setting the vision for the company. Pendo's offering is disjointed and the unclear PMF is more and more seeming to fall on engineering's shoulders as a perception of lack of output. It is entirely understandable to increase productivity with the industry pacing with that velocity, but that needs to be measured by outcomes, not inputs. And outcomes are a product of the team as a whole. Much of the industry looks like this, but I think the current sourness at Pendo is this has come at the expense of what was once a top-tier culture in the industry. One that was both highly productive and motivating. But unscrupulous decision making and leadership's lack of interest in addressing feedback has unfortunately made Pendo an uncertain place to work.
