Thank you so much for your review and for highlighting the collaboration, flexible leave, and our welcoming culture—these are all things we’re proud to foster at Babel Street. We also appreciate your note about the company being sales and ARR driven. As a growth-focused organization, maintaining a strong focus on revenue is critical to supporting our long-term strategy and continuing to invest in our people, products, and mission. That said, we always aim to strike the right balance, ensuring all teams feel supported and connected to the broader purpose behind our goals. We’re glad to hear your experience has been a positive one overall, and we truly value your contributions to the team.

Pros

Hard working and dedicated individuals that support impactful technology

Cons

Complete and total lack of leadership and worse than that, leadership who has no real understanding of what it takes to GTM in key industries because they're not from those worlds, don't understand them and their siloed, authoritarian approach to leadership creates a morale killing environment. Way to many internal meetings and slog work that creates more paralysis by analysis than I've ever experienced and there is too much rigidity with internal processes. The business model and comp plan does not support the sales staff in the way I've experienced it in the past 15+ years of being in SW sales/account management.
