Pros

I joined the company a few months ago, and I honestly can't reconcile the bad reviews I am reading and the reality I am facing. The CEO is very personable. He cares about the company and really wants to see it super successful. He is super sharp and has a strong vision. I only had good interactions with him. Every interaction I had with the COO was positive, and I always felt like I learned something from his feedback, Good or bad. He is very thoughtful and has a captivating vision. Both are direct, so if you can't handle it, maybe this is not the place for you. The team in Lisbon is a gem. I never met so many smart people in my professional life. No politics, no fighting, and super collaborative environment. I so far interacted with other great leaders in Customer Success, Support, and product. All top notch.

Cons

The sales team here went through 2-3 iterations and I am not sure yet if this version is the final one. Some of the latest hires are super promising, so we will see. On the small things, the office in Lisbon is nicer and more organized than the one in SF. I think we should invest in our HQ and make it at least as nice. We kind of let this office go. Comp is fair, but not generous.

Pros

-The AI-First Mission is Real- We aren’t just talking about artificial intelligence; we are actively executing an AI-first transformation across our entire product and internal operating models. It’s an incredibly exciting, fast-paced space for anyone looking to build the future of enterprise software. -What makes this company truly special is our foundation: we have a deep, proven contact center history, but we’ve successfully paired that legacy with the right product architecture and the right people to dominate the AI future. It feels like today we have the right people on board to execute. - Innovative mindset- We don't have everything figured out today. Employees are encouraged to think outside of the box and move fast to try new things and surface solutions.

Cons

-High-Pressure, Agile Environment: Because we scale on consumption and automation rather than simple headcount, the bar for talent density here is exceptionally high. Things move FAST. If you prefer a slow, highly structured, or static environment, this level of rapid iteration might feel overwhelming - TD doesn't have everything figured out. You have to be OK building as you go, and not always having clear direction.
