Airtable reviews

There is so much disrespect and no accountability. People do not respond to your slacks or email and do not show up to meetings - without responding to the invite or saying something. Most people don't keep their calendars updated, or block their entire calendars. Managers do not enforce better ways of working and let any potential changes fall wayside. Everyone is very protective of their work and how they do things, without any flexibility toward change. There is no structure or organization in any of the work being done, and definitely no cross functional success. From a company that is supposed to be tackling the fragmented organization and creating golden datasets, it's clear that they do not practice what they preach and have no plans to do so. Product and Product Marketing are releasing extremely minimal viable products, without have a clear idea of how these features are going to add value or implement these new features into their existing systems. They clearly don't how their customers are using their product. The cart has been put before the horse on so many occasions with releases, including this giant conceptual launch of Connected Apps Platform without any new features that back up the concept. Feels like an organization full of unqualified, ignorant, nepotistic, arrogant, close-minded people that have never worked anywhere else.

Sales leadership is very bad here especially director level and above. Unfortunately senior leadership in sales all came from a very similar background and many of them have a surprising lack of experience given their role. I don’t think I’ve ever been at a company where senior leadership is so clearly unqualified, but talk as if they had 10 years more experience. Unfortunately, this shows. The sales org is very poorly run, very little communication about changes, many disruptive changes to territory, and a surprising lack of understanding about what reps do every day. I chalk it up to over-confident sales leaders that all run in the same leadership circles and have followed each other around from company to company. As a rep at Airtable, you’ll often question every change and every internal sales meeting, wondering why leadership is saying what they’re saying. Unfortunately, there is so much potential with Airtable that is being squandered away.
