LaunchDarkly reviews

No clear path to promotion, hiring and promotion freezes for 6 months to a year, then multiple lay-offs.

As a former employee of LaunchDarkly, I feel compelled to share my experience to caution prospective BDR candidates. While the company boasts cutting-edge technology and promising prospects, its leadership culture in the BDR org leaves much to be desired. The glaring issue lies in the top-tier management, particularly in the leadership style of the Sr. Director of Global Business Development and the Director of North American Business Development. Regrettably, they prioritize political maneuvering over mastering essential skills for the role. Their lack of proficiency in sales is evident, yet they invest considerable time and energy in ingratiating themselves with higher-ups. This misplaced focus translates into a toxic work environment where genuine talent and skill are undervalued. As a consequence, direct reports are neglected and left to fend for themselves. It's disheartening to witness "leaders" who disregard the development and well-being of their team in favor of self-serving agendas. If you're considering a BDR role at LaunchDarkly, proceed with caution.
