Pros

People, but all the good ones have left or are leaving

Cons

The CEO - he is heartless! Lay off week before Xmass! Benefits have been slowly stripped out with zero advanced warning and buyouts of 2 months + 2025 bonus to those employees not committed to the company. BEWARE

We’re sorry to read that this is how your time at commercetools feels in hindsight. Over the past year, we’ve made decisions to align the company more closely with where our customers and the market are headed. Those decisions were thoughtful and tied to long-term priorities. They were not reflections of individual loyalty or commitment, and we would never characterize colleagues that way. On benefits, one single program was adjusted based on significantly lower usage than originally anticipated. It was not removed, and it remains available today in a modified form. We continue to review our offerings regularly to make sure that they are meaningful, sustainable, and aligned with how employees are actually using them. We remain focused on building a durable company with a clear strategy and investing in the people who are doing the work every day. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you the best moving forward.

An unfortunate decline, even C-level is leaving

Pros

The people within the teams are great and are doing their best to uphold the culture commercetools use to have

Cons

* The constant gaslighting is exhausting and frankly insulting. Tough decisions have to be made, that is logical. However, the management does not have enough respect of their colleagues to be honest about why things are happening and come up with "you don't understand why this is good for you" reasons. When the RTO was announced, it was literally sold as a positive because people that would now have to commute have so much extra time to call their mom. * Product is being sold before it is built. Customers are buying C-level fever dreams * There is a severe lack of a plan of what the company should achieve, aside from running towards the flickering flame of AI * The new CEO (third one in less than three years) could not care less about the people within the company.

We’re genuinely sorry to hear that this was your experience. No one should leave feeling unheard or disrespected, and we take feedback like this seriously. The last few years have required meaningful decisions as customer expectations, technology, and the broader market have shifted quickly. Those decisions impact real people, and we understand that they don’t always land the same way for everyone. When changes happen, our responsibility is to communicate clearly and directly about why they are being made and where we are headed. We have always operated as a hybrid company. The shift last year formalized a three-day-a-week hub requirement for employees who live near a hub location. Team members were given several months’ notice to prepare, and we invested in our office spaces and infrastructure to support increased in-person collaboration. That investment continues. We know this approach does not work for everyone, and we respect that. On product and AI, we have a defined roadmap and long-term strategy that has been shared internally, including through our 2026 planning and All Hands discussions. Customers are asking for AI-ready, unified commerce infrastructure, and our teams are building toward that in a deliberate way. We are proud of the engineers, product leaders, and operators who are turning that strategy into shipped capabilities. Leadership transitions can create uncertainty, and we understand how that can feel. Our focus remains on building a durable company with a clear direction and supporting the people doing the work every day. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and wish you the very best in what comes next.
