Pros

There are some good people at Splash. Mainly in IC roles.

Cons

Toxic environment: - I once witnessed the CEO, Steve. Chew-out a single team in front of the entire company during a "retrospective". I was appalled at the damage it did to the already thin layer of psychological safety at the company. - I had teammates who would join meetings and take naps during our pair programming sessions so that it looked like they were busy. - I noticed that service-based employees like CX experts were looked down on and treated very poorly by the company. Not appreciated or listened to. Unprofessional leadership: - CEO, Steve, punishes people publicly. - CMO, Helen, was not familiar with basic industry concepts and terminology in key marketing areas. Made it tough to get work done across the board. - CTO, Tej, lures devs to Splash under false pretenses. CTO also pretends to know a lot about software and product development. Meanwhile, there is terrible technical debt. in the code and systems.

Pros

I've had a great experience working at Splash. The company is majority remote and trusts employees to manage their work without excessive oversight. Leadership is approachable, transparent, and genuinely invested in the success of both the business and its employees. The mission is meaningful, the people are collaborative, and there are plenty of opportunities to contribute beyond your immediate role. The flexibility and work-life balance are among the best I've experienced.

Cons

Like any growing company, priorities can change quickly and teams need to be comfortable adapting. Processes are continually evolving, which can sometimes create ambiguity or require employees to help build structure as the company scales. If you're looking for a highly structured environment where every process is already established, this may not be the right fit.
