Pros

I have to echo the fact that they still have some good and talented people remaining at Pyramid. Platform has real potential.

Cons

When I first joined Pyramid, I was filled with optimism about the company's potential. It was evident that they were on the brink of achieving something significant in terms of their product. However, my initial enthusiasm quickly gave way to disappointment as I witnessed the toxic culture and the absence of effective leadership hindering any meaningful progress. One glaring issue was the promotion of underqualified individuals solely because they were "yes" people, even when they were clearly ill-suited for their roles. This pattern of promoting subservience over competence was rampant and detrimental. The sales department, in particular, resorted to frequent firings as a misguided solution to problems that stemmed from poor sales leadership and a lack of accountability from the top. The company's priorities were completely misaligned, and instead of addressing and rectifying these issues, there was an atmosphere of constant blame-shifting. Even when solid data was presented to highlight the root causes, it seemed to fall on deaf ears. Frankly, it's astonishing that investors haven't intervened by this point. The workplace has devolved into a chaotic circus, and given the significant staff reductions this year, I wouldn't be surprised if the few remaining talented individuals decide to jump ship. One of the most frustrating aspects of working at Pyramid was the near absence of communication from the executive team. This only exacerbated the existing misalignment within the company. In summary, I strongly advise potential employees to exercise caution when considering Pyramid as their workplace. The initial promise of the company's product potential is overshadowed by a toxic culture, misguided leadership, and a concerning lack of communication from the top.

Pros

Pyramid has a cutting edge solution that stands up incredibly well in technical evaluations. Massive support from different departments of the org and a big team component. Expertise sprinkled throughout the org to help bring specialists in when the time is right.

Cons

Lower brand awareness leads to uphill battles in sales cycles. When people see the product they tend to get it and see the vision, however the battle between champions and other key stakeholders is a short term disadvantage.

Pros

Neat product, when it worked. Forward thinking regarding AI implementation back when it was new.

Cons

Poor leadership: - CEO was disengaged. Poor communication. Never held company meetings. After massive layoffs, promised zero layoffs for the next year and then held RIFs every 3 months. - CTO would actively ridicule and make fun of others at every meeting - incredibly demoralizing. Would change his mind on a dime, often multiple times in the same meeting, and refused to put goals in writing so it was practically impossible to know what he wanted. Micromanaged teams outside his jurisdiction. Micromanagement + lack of defined goals = chaos / miserable work experience. - Company would frequently lie about the status of their product and releases, claiming features were ready but then stringing their user base along for months while they frantically worked to get the software working.
