Pros

I've been here over a year and a half and we've grown a lot. Our customers seem very happy in how we operate and the value we deliver. Being around the Valley. I've never seen anything like Tipalti in 20 years in terms of the right solution at the right time. It's rewarding to work with non-ego driven people, but also for a company you can be proud of -- one that's built on ethics and reason and sound business decision making. The relationship between sales and marketing is collaborative and quite strong.

Cons

The biggest challenge for the company is getting the word out to a nascent, underserved accounts payable and financial operations market and conveying that message as a pain that needs solving. At the same time, it means there's a really wide greenfield of opportunity. While Palo Alto's downtown is a great area for walkability and restaurants, the commute in and out of University Ave. from SF and the South Bay is horrible. The office can be a little noisy because there's a lot of people in a small space. Thankfully, I like pretty much everyone.

Pros

Good people. My direct manager was excellent and very supportive. Free lunch when in office. Health benefits are okay.

Cons

There have been numerous layoffs, and overall it feels incredibly unstable. The product has a lot of issues, which makes the onboarding role much harder than it needs to be. When deadlines are missed, leadership tends to blame the onboarding team, even when you’re doing everything you’re supposed to and the challenges are outside your control. It doesn't help that the Product has a lot of issues, and leadership will push on us to sell on more product features, that will make implementation even longer and the features are not ready to be used by customers. Sales regularly overpromises to customers, then avoids accountability when those expectations can’t realistically be met. Most process changes seem to benefit Sales while making onboarding even more difficult. Pay is below industry standard, and as a result, many of the strong employees don’t stick around for long. While my coworkers are great, it seemed like everyone was miserable. Always complaining about customers, leadership, turnover, layoffs, low pay, and questionable policies. It's not a healthy work environment, and leadership needs to introduce changes immediately if they want to attract and retain talent. Performance is heavily data-driven, which isn’t inherently a bad thing. However, evaluations tend to focus too narrowly on metrics like average implementation time, without fully considering the many factors outside an employee’s control that impact results. As a result, overall performance and contributions don’t always feel fairly assessed.
