Pros

Amazing product Good pay and benefits (mostly) Great and super talented coworkers Good communication from leadership (at least yo until layoffs)

Cons

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.

Pros

Office culture is amazing - dedicated "culture ambassadors" (a recruiter and engineer) plan events in the NYC office , and they're doing an amazing job, not to mention daily interactions and lunches with a strong in-office presence. Coworkers on my team are incredibly smart, kind, and thoughtful. In my experience, there is a total absence of known smart but "difficult" people, which is unheard of. Really interesting, technically deep projects, since we are fundamentally a data company. Perks and benefits are great. One of the rare tech companies that still seems to have all the right values regarding DEI, work life balance, and keeping its employees happy.

Cons

Not sure what the outlook is on the future of AI - we're certainly at a major inflection point with a new CTO and a lot of AI initiatives, and it remains to be seen how it goes. Quality of managers seems to be mixed. High management turnover, but that's the industry right now.

Pros

- great flexible product, heavily dogfooded - generally nice and smart coworkers - all my EMs have been great - comp and benefits are good

Cons

- codebase is pretty heavyweight, a large monorepo - distributed and remote-friendly company means you don't get much face time with many of your coworkers - recent wave of departures and re-orgs has been a bit chaotic
