Pros

Incredible leadership and in the middle of hiring more senior folks. Leadership has a variety of backgrounds from top tech companies (Segment, Stripe, MapBox). Transparent working culture, very collaborative. Minimal feeling of competition between coworkers and knowledge sharing is encouraged and common. Brilliant product at the forefront of low-code. Wide range of customers using the tool for interesting applications across every industry and vertical. World class talent in every department. Reflective and thoughtful culture. Very fun team to work with and extremely enjoyable to get to know everyone. Fast-paced environment that’s looking to double headcount annually.

Cons

Still figuring out several processes and teams are in flux. Relies on new employees to be very proactive and take ownership which can be scary for some. Fast paced and may require long nights to complete tasks.

Retool Response

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear you’re having such a positive experience, from the quality of peers to the transparency of our culture. We’re proud of what we’ve built (and what we’re building!) and we’re excited you’re a part of it. You’re certainly right that we’re still working on processes and, with so much growth, we’re still learning. If you have any follow-up feedback or would like to share anything further, please let us know by getting in touch at interview-feedback@retool.com . Thanks again for the feedback!

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.
