Klaviyo reviews

Klaviyo is easily the most toxic culture I have ever worked at. What used to be an amazing “all in” culture has slowly shifted to a politics-driven, burnout heavy, and ‘dodge any responsibility and delegate’ culture. It’s amazing how things can change in two years, let alone, one. A place that had so many people loving their jobs is now a complaint-driven and depressing place to be. (I do want to make note that many orgs still love it- just not sales.) The entire GTM org is all over the place since Steve Rowland joined. He is doing what he did at OKTA and had to publicly step down for. It is the Steve show and all he cares about is collecting his bonus and working everyone to the bone. The SVP of sales is not far away from him and still doesn’t realize that he has lost the whole sales org. If he could spend the rest of his time at klaviyo not interacting with an AE, he would- he wants nothing to do with the sales org and wants so badly to be included by the C-Suite. GTM Ops is a mess that can’t deliver on any of their promises and constantly has new leaders in and out the door. A delayed project is the norm for them. Sales VPs can’t stand each other. Sales managers barely know what they are doing. And yet- this all stems from the top. AB created this culture of micromanagement, changing directions, poor rollouts of products, favoritism, and going back on his word. So it make sense that the rest of the company follows suit. I would be sure to research which org you are joining, because for the most part- sales is bad.

All the negative reviews in here are really true. When looking at reviews, filter them by the recent ones and you will notice a pattern. Most leaders are either power-tripping, do not care, biding time until market picks up for better opportunities or IPO, absolutely out of touch, incompetent to run a larger organization, yes-people or all the above. Sadly, this organization is an insult to all the people who joined to build something cool. Initially, it seemed like an open, honest, genuine and happy place of talented people. I am unsure if something changed as the organization grew or if the founders (and their egos) became more involved or if true systemic issues took time to surface or got triggered by growth. If you join this place, you will end up with no bonuses, inequitable or no raises or RSUs, broken promises of career growth, remote-unfriendliness, a façade of openness, sugar-coated answers, ever changing priorities, and an eventual feeling of being stuck with no respite. It may eventually change, but again, please do yourself a favor and look for the most recent reviews and trend
