Pros

- Interesting technical challenges - Ability to carve your own path and dictate a decent amount of the type of work you get to do - Managers who care, and don’t micro-manage but are still supportive - Company is on a great growth trajectory and beating sales targets - Customers really love the product

Cons

- Uncompetitive remote policy. Confusingly, engineering is one of the only departments not remote friendly (much of other departments and their leaders are remote) - Product management org is very small

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.
