Pros

Friendly direct managers and nice teammates... for the country you are in.

Cons

Do not even waste your time applying to Pipedrive- you will regret it. They market themselves as a hip and trendy company, and while that may be true in Europe, it could not be a more different experience in America. The inequities between the European and US teams could go on and on, but here are some highlights: pay, flexibility, company culture, and even the way employees are spoken to by management are significantly better in Europe and lacking in America. The company recently laid off over 15% of its workforce, and did so callously and maliciously. Upper management would not provide details regarding why individuals were let go and tip-toed around questions that were asked to them inquiring why. The company has always been heading down the gutter, and how the layoffs were handled (coupled with poor business practices and people management) is spearheading my search for a job elsewhere. If you're looking for a job in tech- this is NOT it. Prior reviews do not encompass the actualities of working for Pipedrive, it truly is a heartless and shady company who time and time again proves its self as a beacon in the industry of "what not to do".

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave the review. We strive for the best employee experience. This means making sure that Pipedrive’s culture is replicated around the world. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience has been different. The decision to put our beloved colleagues at risk of redundancy is one of the hardest that Pipedrive has ever had to make. We would not have resorted to these changes unless it was absolutely necessary to ensure Pipedrive’s sustainable growth. We are determined to provide support to those who are moving and we are offering full support in terms of personal coaching, counseling and job search. Nonetheless, we will take the feedback you have added here on board. If you have any additional feedback or questions for moving forward, please do not hesitate to contact your people partner.

Pros

Great team! Lots of room to learn about things that really interest you, even if there is not an open position at that time for movement in that direction. Supportive environment all around. I have a name, I am not just an employee ID number. Management really cares. You can reach out to anyone in any department, and it's never an uncomfortable experience. The willingness to teach is amazing!

Cons

Sometimes the availability of a position is determined by your location since the company is international, which can sometimes be limiting, but it does not stop you from being allowed to and encouraged to learn about that path anyway.

Thank you for taking the time to review us, fellow Pipedriver! We're really glad to hear that you feel supported by your team and management, and that you've found a real sense of belonging here. It's especially great to see recognition for the willingness to teach and the openness across departments – creating an environment where people feel valued and can learn and grow is something we care deeply about. We also appreciate your perspective on location-based role availability. As a global company, there are times when certain positions are tied to specific locations, but it's great to hear that this hasn't stopped you from exploring and learning beyond your current role. Thank you again for your feedback – we really appreciate it!

Pros

The company offers flexibility to work remotely, which supports work–life balance. Its global footprint provides opportunities for international exposure and occasional travel across multiple office locations. Many of the people are genuinely great to work with, and those relationships were a meaningful highlight of the experience.

Cons

The company is largely Europe-centric, which is understandable given its origins, but U.S. teams can feel overlooked. Communication to U.S. based employees around company events, office expectations, and broader initiatives is often inconsistent, and teams in this region frequently absorb the impact of decisions without sufficient context or support. Leadership consistency has been a challenge, with noticeable changes at the executive level contributing to shifting priorities and a lack of clear long-term direction. There is also a strong emphasis on executive and senior leadership development, including training and compensation, while investment in growth opportunities for the broader employee population feels limited. Equity offerings are primarily restricted to certain levels, largely management and executive roles. Expanding equity participation to include non-management and lower-level staff would feel more equitable and better aligned with common practices in the tech industry. From an operational perspective, some internal functions could benefit from stronger structure and oversight. HR can feel somewhat insular due to long standing working relationships, and there has been a recurring pattern of payroll and ADP related issues that have required cleanup more than once, particularly around U.S. payroll and tax compliance.

Thank you for taking the time to review us, Pipedrive alum! We’re glad to hear that the flexibility, global collaboration, and relationships you built along the way were meaningful highlights of your time here. Creating an environment where people can balance work and life while connecting across regions is something we always aim to uphold. At the same time, we appreciate you calling out the areas where your experience didn’t meet expectations. As we continue to grow as a global company, ensuring consistent leadership, clear long-term direction, and strong communication across regions is very important. We recognise that alignment and transparency are essential to building trust and supporting our teams effectively. Your feedback around development opportunities, equity participation, and operational structure is also important. We’re committed to continuously reviewing how we support our people at all levels and how we strengthen processes to better serve our teams across locations. Thank you again for sharing your perspective — feedback like this helps us reflect, improve, and grow.
