Pros

Tipalti is a family-oriented company, Techwise - the company proud itself on progressing and allowing employees to advance. Hybrid work - 3 days in the office, 2 at home Great people, it was a pleasure coming to the office, and I've worked in multiple sites.

Cons

Very strict financially, low food pay, disconnection between higher management and the rest (directors and below), leading to frustration. Being relatively cheap on the provided laptops leads to decreased performance. Techwise - a large monolith with many Microservices. If you are developing the monolith, you will suffer, and there are no current plans to break it. The pay isn't as competitive as it was. The base pay was always mid-low, But the shares used to be worthwhile, but no longer are.

Pros

Good people. My direct manager was excellent and very supportive. Free lunch when in office. Health benefits are okay.

Cons

There have been numerous layoffs, and overall it feels incredibly unstable. The product has a lot of issues, which makes the onboarding role much harder than it needs to be. When deadlines are missed, leadership tends to blame the onboarding team, even when you’re doing everything you’re supposed to and the challenges are outside your control. It doesn't help that the Product has a lot of issues, and leadership will push on us to sell on more product features, that will make implementation even longer and the features are not ready to be used by customers. Sales regularly overpromises to customers, then avoids accountability when those expectations can’t realistically be met. Most process changes seem to benefit Sales while making onboarding even more difficult. Pay is below industry standard, and as a result, many of the strong employees don’t stick around for long. While my coworkers are great, it seemed like everyone was miserable. Always complaining about customers, leadership, turnover, layoffs, low pay, and questionable policies. It's not a healthy work environment, and leadership needs to introduce changes immediately if they want to attract and retain talent. Performance is heavily data-driven, which isn’t inherently a bad thing. However, evaluations tend to focus too narrowly on metrics like average implementation time, without fully considering the many factors outside an employee’s control that impact results. As a result, overall performance and contributions don’t always feel fairly assessed.
