Pros

Market recognition - well known in the legal space and is probably the front-runner AI tool for legal at the moment. Comp was good for the role, benefits are on par with industry. It's a good brand to have on your result (at the moment of writing anyways)

Cons

Where to even start. One of the founders just unceremoniously dipped out. The other is usually MIA and doesn't interact with anyone in the company save a handful of other leaders. The product leadership is awful. No vision at all besides being a slightly different interface for GPT-4o. Sales leadership - I'm conflicted about this. On one end they are closing business. On the other end - I've never been part of such a fearful culture. Everyone is constantly waiting for the hammer tor drop, and when it does they let people go with no explanation. Coworkers are constantly searching Slack for deactivated profiles, then the rumor mill starts because leadership is too scared to address this stuff head on. Worst handling of this sort of thing I've ever experienced in my career. Innovation is frowned upon. If you try to do something the least bit innovative you'll upset the other feudal lords protecting their fiefdoms. The level of politics you must navigate to work here is surpassed only by that in Washington. The product itself - I had trouble actually showing some of the use cases for fear of the lawyers we're presenting to digging in any further and uncovering how truly fragile the systems are. There doesn't seem to be much understanding of how lawyers actually work baked into the product. Best we can do is an open ended chat interface and hope the lawyers just figure it out and find their own value in it.

Not a ton to say here given the level of frustration in your review, except that we've invested a ton in helping our reps succeed and in providing more clarity around how we manage performance. Winston did a session with our GTM team in NYC last week and Gabe was leading the way at our eng recruiting event last week in SF, so while I don't want to refute elements of your personal experience and their validity, it's important to clarify both cofounders are engaged actively and figuring out how best to spend their time and energy for the next stage of our growth as a company. -Katie

Pros

Solid product market fit. Good customer base. Some great and intelligent people.

Cons

A tremendous amount of bad will has been fostered in the past year that is potentially unrecoverable and disastrous for the company’s trajectory. Horrific senior leadership in sales and product. Goals are ostentatious from day one and support is nonexistent so there is a revolving door of talent. Abysmal equity and benefits packages. Huge divide between GTM and engineering. NYC office is sparse and overcrowded while LON & SF boast amenities like free gyms, and there are no plans from leadership to get parity. Above all, the senior leadership team’s (including the CEO) inability to seek feedback or see their teams as anything other than warm bodies required to generate revenue has left an indelible scar on the culture.

Sorry to read this and to hear of your experience at Harvey. There's some merit from my POV in some of the historical context of your feedback, e.g. it took us too long to invest in enabling reps and their success, but we now have a full team dedicated to it and are introducing a clear onboarding program to set people up for and invest in people's success. On offices, I oversee the workplace team, so ultimately that's feedback for me. I've now worked out of both offices (not yet London but I'll get there soon), and I think the biggest opportunity in NYC is around conference room upgrades and on lunch delivery (that part got fixed this week) so not sure I agree that there remains a large gap amenity wise between offices. We have plans to do a company-wide survey following our review cycle, so we'll take your feedback on that front and I think it's more than fair to push on. Appreciate the feedback painful though it is to read, and hopefully you'll see improvements in the coming months. -Katie

Pros

The offering resonates strongly with the market, with massive untapped potential still ahead. The team is sharp, driven, and full of momentum

Cons

While there were some upsides, the concerns raised in critical reviews reflect the reality. The environment is driven more by anxiety and instability than collaboration, where advancing often felt like a zero-sum game. The messaging from leadership about teamwork and a performance-driven culture doesn’t align with the day-to-day experience. Morale is low across the board, and there’s little indication that things will improve anytime soon.

I've had a different experience on many of these items, but I do agree with you that progress happens with a combination of emotional intelligence, momentum, and experience--I think the good news is we are adding that across many roles, so I think/hope folks are feeling that and will continue to see up and to the right improvement there. -Katie
