Pros

- top notch recruiters with an intentional interview process - SF Office very nice, great food snacks & perks - insanely good customers that most startups dream of having - the founders are exceptional, leadership are passionate and inspiring - coworkers are highly motivated, intelligent, and super kind - the product is massive, very interesting to learn and contribute to - company rewards top contributors & employees with lots of agency - EPD and GTM collaborate well - healthy tension to support customers

Cons

- culture is very slack-driven, I wish we were more documentation-driven - some teams have a lot of ambiguity/thrash to navigate - some teams clearly not performing well and/or lack strong managers, which can be demotivating for teams that are performing well - the majority of managers are decent, some are bad. very few are truly great. no management training that I'm aware of - growth stalled for a bit, but seems be picking up a lot now

Pros

Culture and people are great, there is a strong will to make employees successful, prioritize internal transfers when possible, clear communication.

Cons

Might feel big for people looking for a startup feel, but small enough to feel like a big company/corporate. In general, feels more like a startup than a big company.

Amazing hyper-growth startup to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

Incredible leadership and in the middle of hiring more senior folks. Leadership has a variety of backgrounds from top tech companies (Segment, Stripe, MapBox). Transparent working culture, very collaborative. Minimal feeling of competition between coworkers and knowledge sharing is encouraged and common. Brilliant product at the forefront of low-code. Wide range of customers using the tool for interesting applications across every industry and vertical. World class talent in every department. Reflective and thoughtful culture. Very fun team to work with and extremely enjoyable to get to know everyone. Fast-paced environment that’s looking to double headcount annually.

Cons

Still figuring out several processes and teams are in flux. Relies on new employees to be very proactive and take ownership which can be scary for some. Fast paced and may require long nights to complete tasks.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear you’re having such a positive experience, from the quality of peers to the transparency of our culture. We’re proud of what we’ve built (and what we’re building!) and we’re excited you’re a part of it. You’re certainly right that we’re still working on processes and, with so much growth, we’re still learning. If you have any follow-up feedback or would like to share anything further, please let us know by getting in touch at interview-feedback@retool.com . Thanks again for the feedback!
