Beware (Especially In The US)

Pros

The product is good and has tremendous potential. There are also phenomenal people working there (but good ones are leaving, unfortunately). Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

There is a significant lack of sales traction in the US and the turnover in salespeople and sales engineers is staggering. The company had layoffs in 2022 and 2023, mostly impacting the US. I would not be surprised if big changes lie ahead for the executive team if revenue doesn't improve.

It's unfortunate to hear your experience resulted in a 1 star review. Thank you for pointing out the pros - we agree our product is good with tremendous potential and we have amazing people working here. Those are the two most important reasons we are seeing success and expect more to come. We do take all feedback seriously and will consider your suggestions. We disagree with some of your critical assertions and are happy to discuss sales traction, company growth trajectory, and leadership styles you can expect here with any potential candidates.

Pros

When I was considering this company, I came across some negative reviews online. However, after conducting my own research and speaking with individuals across various levels and business units, I became more confident in the company's potential. As someone with prior experience in the IDP space, I was drawn to the company's impressive product, vision, and mission, and decided to take a calculated risk and join the team. I am now 6 months into my employment and am pleased to provide an honest and unbiased review. - The onboarding experience was well-structured and informative. - The teams are great, with a supportive and collaborative culture. - There are tremendous opportunities to learn and contribute. - The company and management have a clear vision and direction. - The management is transparent with employees. - The compensation package, including basic pay and bonus/commission, is good. - Great High5 culture to shoutout, recognise and celebrate individual and team efforts across the board. - A family of diverse ethnicities, cultures and beliefs with a great sense of empathy towards each other.

Cons

- I have found that the career progression path may not be clearly defined, which could be a challenge for employees who are eager to grow and develop within the organization. While individual performance against established KPIs is certainly important, providing employees with more visibility and guidance on potential career paths can help motivate and focus their efforts towards achieving the mutual goals.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We especially appreciated you pointing out our "family of diverse ethnicities, cultures and beliefs with a great sense of empathy towards each other." We value our cross-cultural team and the culture of collaboration everyone has built. You're right that the career progression path is not clearly defined for many positions and as we grow, we intend to add more here. We've had many people promote here due to their high performance and excellent results. Many employees have been able to accelerate their careers - not because managers created a map of stepping stones but because they overachieved on goals and were subsequently promoted. We are working on defining more clear paths for certain positions and encourage managers and employees to start this conversation within their departments to tailor each person's career path to their individual aspirations. If you are feeling stuck, I encourage you to reach out to the People Operations department for coaching and support on this topic. We always welcome these discussions.

Pros

There are some individuals that are keeping the company afloat. Product has potential. Pay is decent.

Cons

What’s sold during the interview process is completely different than when in seat. Extremely toxic work environment. Leadership speaks poorly about employees. Lack of training and when asking for help, demeans the individual in private/public. Refuses to acknowledge Glassdoor reviews when the complaints are accurate and valid.

Sorry to hear you had a difficult experience. We take all feedback seriously, but I’m sure you understand we are careful how much credence we give anonymous, vague complaints on an external platform. We cannot verify whether Glassdoor users actually worked for us or if they might be a person we intentionally separated from due to low performance or misbehavior. We do quickly and thoroughly investigate all issues that are brought to our People Operations department - have you spoken to us? We have several channels, including an anonymous channel, for providing internal feedback. We also offer exit interviews to gather feedback from employees who depart voluntarily. We encourage our people to surface issues quickly that block them from success, and we act on the concerns we receive. We’ve certainly made mistakes along the way, and we reflect on those learnings and incorporate them into our future decisions. We provide onboarding training and ongoing development facilitated internally. Where we don’t have the internal resources for training, we encourage employees to pursue skill development with external resources. We are happy to discuss the culture here with potential applicants as well as provide references to our current employees who can share positive feedback - many employees share that they appreciate our transparency, bias to action and collaborative work environment with truly brilliant colleagues.
