Some of the best people I've worked with

Pros

Everyone here cares deeply about maintaining our momentum. Some of the hardest working, most well-intentioned people I've worked with.

Cons

The company's success comes with high expectations and high urgency, which can make setting boundaries difficult. The company is addressing this by formalizing people and HR processes.

I love this review, thanks for sharing it! I like that you called out the upside and downside of the company's success in terms of urgency and high expectations but also note we are trying to actively fix that with more clarity and process. We absolutely will continue to invest in people here, so thanks for flagging and making the time to share this. Sincerely, Katie

Rapid growth with zero guardrails for employees

Pros

You’ll be surrounded by very smart, capable people and learn a lot quickly. Even when things are moving fast, most people are open to change and willing to adapt. The product is interesting and feels like it’s on the edge of something new. Some teams are especially collaborative and supportive, and the overall comp is solid for a startup.

Cons

The culture is toxic. It’s common for employees to check Slack just to see who’s been deactivated that day. There’s no structure for performance reviews, no space for growth conversations, and no genuine investment in employee development. You're either in or you're out. The people team came in far too little too late into a company of this size, operating like it has 20 people when it's well over 300. Hitting revenue targets is very much emphasized over the general wellbeing of employees. Engineering and product are under constant pressure to deliver at an unrealistic pace, driven entirely by short-term sales needs. The roadmap changes constantly, and there's little regard for long-term planning or team sustainability. GTM is prioritised while other departments are undervalued and often treated with unprofessional candor. From my experience, this is normal. There is no support for mental health or work-life balance. Burnout is brushed aside, and overwork is not only expected but normalised. Expect to see half the company online on Slack on a sunday working a full day. Leadership celebrates results but shows very little concern for the people delivering them. If you're hoping for career progression, stability, or even basic respect, look elsewhere. This is not a people-first company.

Hi, sorry to hear of your experience with us. Since you left, we have 1) hired two senior leaders to oversee EPD and GTM respectively 2) done our first company wide in depth performance review cycle 3) shared more on our short and long term strategy. With all that said, I think we are still scaling up process and approach to reflect our growth so I have no doubt some of the themes you highlight we are still improving on. Thanks for the feedback, and hopefully current folks are already feeling meaningful progress from what the company was like during your tenure. -Katie

Thanks for making the time to share a review and for being part of our engineering team as we scale. I think your callout on change is more than fair, and I love that you called out our strategy and market position as reasons folks should consider joining. Much appreciated! -Katie
