Pros

free cereal, perks you can find at EVERY other company in SF

Cons

I genuinely worry about people who are considering this place for work, your ambitions are going to be crushed, your time and energy wasted, and your self-esteem lowered to zero, your career is gonna go down the dumps.here are a few cons: immature and backstabing culture evil stemming from the ceo and his accomplice who's behind the ~60 5-star review which popped up right after the company was at an all time low a couple months ago. look at the review trends section. how could a company get so many good reviews in a month? If you know how to do NLP, I highly suggest analyzing the content of those comments, you should see some really interesting trends. they oversell everything, the product to prospects, the job opportunities to poor candidates, etc. no to very little meaningful effort done for customers and employees while they spend 100s of thousands on hallow marketing efforts everything is just for short-term goals company is struggling to attract investors because the ceo is too arrogant to give away any equity and is afraid to lose his say in the board (which is basically him right now) again, I genuinely feel bad for people who fell into their trap please please please, do the needful research and contact former employees on linkedin, we'd love for you not to go through the same hell that we did...

Pros

-The AI-First Mission is Real- We aren’t just talking about artificial intelligence; we are actively executing an AI-first transformation across our entire product and internal operating models. It’s an incredibly exciting, fast-paced space for anyone looking to build the future of enterprise software. -What makes this company truly special is our foundation: we have a deep, proven contact center history, but we’ve successfully paired that legacy with the right product architecture and the right people to dominate the AI future. It feels like today we have the right people on board to execute. - Innovative mindset- We don't have everything figured out today. Employees are encouraged to think outside of the box and move fast to try new things and surface solutions.

Cons

-High-Pressure, Agile Environment: Because we scale on consumption and automation rather than simple headcount, the bar for talent density here is exceptionally high. Things move FAST. If you prefer a slow, highly structured, or static environment, this level of rapid iteration might feel overwhelming - TD doesn't have everything figured out. You have to be OK building as you go, and not always having clear direction.
