Pros

I got to travel a lot at Pipedrive, and my first year was reasonably good. The culture *used* to be good, friendly, and overall warm, and people were generally happy.

Cons

My second year though was toxic and traumatic. The way Pipedrive has been treating staff as lay off numbers since 2022 is appalling - and the pay? Genuinely, though? How am I supposed to survive in Lisbon with 1000 EUR net/month? This is pretty much minimum wage for a corporate job (especially when we have to work night shifts, and weekends). Reading these reviews seems like not much has changed, so I feel truly bad for those that would like to leave but haven't found a safe way out. Oh, and I got no promotions in 2 years, even with tangible positive feedback (literally, there is no budget even if you "Exceed Expectations" other than a measly 5% increase IF you are lucky).

Thank you for taking the time to review us, Pipedrive alum! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed working alongside our friendly Pipedrivers. As we’ve grown over the years, we have had to undergo changes that better help us execute our strategy and achieve our vision for the future. Last year, we underwent a total reward review where we outlined what our Reward Philosophy and Strategy is, which is to be market-competitive from a total reward perspective. We conducted a whole-company benchmarking exercise using industry-recognised data to understand where each role was positioned against the market. We aim to pay within the market competitive range, and where an individual sits within that range depends upon the level of skill and competence they bring to the role. This enables a fair and consistent process for growth and development opportunities.Our core values remain at the heart of what we do, and we continue to be committed to fostering an environment where every team member feels valued and has equal opportunities for growth and recognition. Once again, we appreciate your honesty and willingness to share your experience. Your feedback helps us identify areas for improvement and ensures that we're constantly striving to be the best workplace we can be. We wish you good luck on your future endeavours!

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.
