Dynamic environment with growth opportunities and challenges

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great people, challenging work, tons of room to grow if you’re willing to own outcomes. Smart, ambitious, creative ppl who care about customers and results. The pace is very fast which energizes ppl who like that. Strong performers can have outsized impact and make money. It is fun and you get a ton.

Cons

It’s super fast paced, priorities shift, and decisions won’t always be perfectly aligned. If you need constant certainty or everything to be perfectly bake and make sense for every pov, you’ll find it frustrating. But if you can figure things out, you can roll with change (cause that’s everywhere esp right now), this place is awesome. If you’ve never worked anywhere else or are comparing things to years ago - it’s not the same.

Dynamic environment encourages innovation, but change can be stressful

Pros

Pendo is fast-paced and not afraid to try new things. I've been here for a little over a year and am consistently surprised at how much change my team has been able to drive in such a short period of time.

Cons

As stated in the 'pro' section, Pendo tries new things! That is not for everyone. Part of trying a lot of new things is that some of them don't work as intended, and you have to pivot from there. Leaders are not always great at change management, so not all of the experiments that end in pivots feel well thought out the further removed from decision making that you are. I've worked in a lot of different environments and would rather be in a company that tries things than one that let's 'this is how we do it' calcify into something that can't be questioned or changed.

Pros

A steady paycheck and okay benefits

Cons

Current CEO idolizes Elon Musk and it shows. One time I saw him kick a stray cat.
