Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are always looking to learn from our current and former employees to continue to make Braze a top company to work for. We are saddened to hear about your negative experience. Your feedback does come as a surprise as we have not had any engineers leave our organization recently. In the past year, we have had a tremendous focus on our engineering culture. Braze regularly surveys employees on a range of engagement and satisfaction issues, and we're proud to share that our engineering team enjoys above-company-average and industry-average scores in nearly all facets of the survey. We also just had our best and most productive Hack Day ever, an event we do on a quarterly basis. Lastly, we doubled-down on improving our frontend engineering experience earlier this year with the creation of a Dashboard Infrastructure team whose mission is to provide front-end tools that engineers and designers love using. We'd be happy to discuss the issues you encountered at your time at Braze, please feel free to reach out to whomever was your People Business Partner.

Pros

Braze serves a critical use case for a wide variety of customers. Many of your favorite companies use Braze. It is nice to work in a system where high throughput and reliability are core concerns for customers, not just the engineers.

Cons

The work-life balance has headed downhill. Low level managers are burnt out and are not able to have focused goals. Both ICs as well as low level managers are working much harder for lower pay. As a result execution suffers. I expect attrition to follow. Second, in the name of “compliance” we are not allowed to do automated deployments anymore. Previously deployments used to be flawless, nowadays there’s a human error in our manual deployments almost every week. The tradeoff that the higher levels of management made here - removing automated deployments in the name of “compliance” boggles my mind and reduces trust in the decision making. Finally, there are limited channels to share feedback like this with management. We get comments like this “that’s not very productive”.
