Pipedrive reviews

People are extremely demotivated. Upper management is awful, most senior managers try to avoid having difficult but direct conversations and will sugarcoat things to justify themselves or tough situations. Teams are severely understaffed and overworked, causing people to burn out. Lack of transparency in communication. By the end of 2022 more than 100 talented pipedrivers were arbitrarily laid off but then in 2023 we've had around 100 new hires, which doesn't make sense. There are no clear key responsibilities and everyone does everything, which makes work very chaotic and unorganized. There is no clear team structure or architecture in teams and departments. Very limited career progression opportunities. Mediocre salaries. They try to justify our salaries as ”competitive” but they are not even close to competitive within the industry. About the Lisbon location specifically – it used to be an awesome office to work at back when it was in Atrium. The new office is kind of average and lacking lots of Pipedrive vibe and culture (colourful and engaging walls and furniture, great coffee machines, breakfast). As someone who has been in Estonia, Prague and Germany offices, I can tell that ours right now is very sad and disappointing compared to those. Even visitors say that. We do have drinks and snacks available (limited to crackers and cookies), but they're from the cheapest (retail) brand. We used to have awesome events and parties with great food but sadly that ended when the previous office manager left the company, now events are pretty average and nothing special. For people who are thinking about joining Pipedrive here's my advice: Evaluate your options. Pipedrive people is the best you'll find and you'll contribute to make a great product, but I'm sure you'll get better compensations elsewhere, Pipedrive salaries are not that competitive and we don't have a clear answer if we're having salaries adjustments anytime soon. They'll try to convince you to join by saying you'll have a bootcamp in Estonia because that sounds great but that's a lie - they were ”suspended” because of the pandemic and never resumed.

1) Emotional Quotient: During my time at Pipedrive, I felt that the emotional connection between the team members could be enhanced. This observation might be a reflection of my remote role which inherently comes with limited chances for interpersonal interactions. Nonetheless, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie, especially in remote roles, should be a priority. 2) Clear Purpose & Processes: Every thriving company needs a unifying purpose, a beacon that guides every team member. While Pipedrive is teeming with energy and ambition, a clear purpose that resonates with everyone could work wonders. Additionally, certain processes, especially concerning employee interaction, need further refinement. For instance, onboarding could be more streamlined, and there should be prompt communication about any organizational changes that might impact an employee.
