Pros

good snacks office and cool swag

Cons

no promotions and hires externally. job descriptions are not accurate and everyone is leaving. spend a lot on swag and company events and not on salaries. People only care about their reputations and no one else's.

Pros

* Good office * Good engineering talent * Good WLB and unlimited PTO

Cons

* Constant employee attrition. Just save yourself trouble and don't join here unless you want to experience 75% attrition * Stingy founders, valuation is a lie. They won't raise again because the valuation will fall to 800M from 3.2B. Ask your recruiter about growth rate of revenue and current revenue and do your math. Hit up a VC to ask what the true valuation should be * Unmotivated employees. No incentive with small grants in inflated stock value. With the caliber of employees here, most leave for OpenAI, Anthropic, Anysphere etc. as they should. * Directionless. Retool leadership didn't invest in AI until recently and so the product is playing catch up. With the money we pay, no good AI engineers would ever join us so we're left following the market. Retool prides itself in being "resourceful" and the results are here to see. * Leadership has no vision. Founders seem content with a lifestyle business growing at a tiny % every year.
