Pros

- training and tools available to develop skills in AI - good compensation and benefits - intelligent coworkers - challenging techstack

Cons

- in Costa Rica there is no engineering leadership, so we are under HR leadership which doesn't fully advocate for our organization. requirements to go to the office often change in a micromanagement way.

Thanks for sharing this after a couple of years in Costa Rica! AI training and tools, compensation and benefits, intelligent coworkers, and the challenging tech stack are real strengths, and we're glad those are working well for you! On the Engineering leadership structure in Costa Rica, we're building out dedicated Engineering leadership across all hubs to ensure technical teams have the advocacy and support they need. That work is happening now to strengthen how Engineering operates regionally. The office requirements changing frequently is fair feedback. Consistency matters, and we're working to ensure any in-office expectations are clear and stable rather than shifting arbitrarily. For prospective employees in Costa Rica: Ask about how technical decisions get made and what office expectations look like. You should get specific answers! We appreciate you being here and the technical work you're doing!

Pros

If you are in the right team then you may have a decent work life balance depending on your role, benefits are decent

Cons

Most teams — from product management to design and engineering — are stretched thin trying to meet unrealistic deadlines for AI initiatives that have minimal, if any, impact on the company’s bottom line. The new executive leadership team appears disconnected from market reality, chasing the AI trend even as customers express frustration with the constant addition of unnecessary AI features instead of improvements to the core product. We’ve lost nearly half of our customer base in the past couple of years, and at this trajectory, significant layoffs seem inevitable. Leadership continues to present selectively optimistic metrics that don’t reflect the company’s true condition. Join only if you want firsthand experience of what it’s like to be on a sinking ship — while leadership keeps up the illusion that everything is fine.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. We're investing in AI because it's where the industry is moving, not as a trend, but as a real shift in how marketing works. We're seeing success, and we're continuing to improve the core product alongside those efforts. We understand that being in a fast-moving environment can feel intense. If you're feeling stretched or disconnected from the bigger picture, we'd encourage you to talk to your manager. Your perspective matters, and having more context on the strategy might help close some of the gap between what you're experiencing and where we're headed.
