Pros

- hybrid model was good - lots of swag (though I thought it felt too much) - catered lunch on mandatory office days - great people - fun events like summer picnic,holiday party, etc.

Cons

- SF office is in not the safest part of the mission - no collaboration between GTM and engineering - feedback not taken seriously by c-suite leadership or even middle management - GTM prioritizes strategizing numbers over keeping their current employees (high turnover within GTM over the last year) - employee count has stayed around 400 and has not spiked significantly - product struggling to keep up with new solutions like Cursor

Pros

Fast pace, with plenty of opportunity to work with modern tooling, supportive culture, and solid engineers

Cons

Retool’s in the middle of a transformation into the world of AI-driven app building and it’s caused its fair share of attrition. But, at least there’s strong buy-in across the company at this point

Pros

It’s hard to find a company that seems to genuinely care about their employees. Leadership and frontline listens if you explain context and present solutions to challenges. Sales org is strong. Solid partner strategy. Product teams leaned in and listening. Flexible and supportive work life balance. And a really interesting and exciting direction in term of product market fit. Good benefits.

Cons

Calendars get busy fast during the day. Lots of competing priorities because we’re trying to compete with an ever changing market.
