Pros

Even leadership is aware that the only pro is the free food.

Cons

Avoid this company at all costs. You'll leave the office feeling drained and depressed. There's no culture, leadership doesn't care about the people...it's truly a soul suck. They say they have competitive benefits but they actually don't. The benefits are just ok and there are no real perks

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.
