They're reasonably generous with stock I'd say

Equity - the setup is good, but it also helps drive the culture in a good way.

Meetings are few & far between by design. Collectively, all employees at Drift focus on producing value to our customers - and if a meeting is going to get in the way of that more than it will help, we don't hold the meeting. Everyone is fierce, motivated, analytical, and incredibly accomplished.

There's a certain energy in the office that I have yet to be able to explain. It's motivating, inspiring, and empowering to be surrounded by people hellbent on seeing their customers succeed, AND seeing you succeed.
Review from Engineering Dept
Autonomy with a willingness to help from all. Everyone is trusted to do their job, no micromanaging. But at the same time if you need help anyone is willing to drop everything and help
Review from Engineering Dept
one team one dream mentality
Review from Engineering Dept
We all really bond off of our mission to change the way businesses buy from each other, and that clarity really connects us. We also make sure every teams work is incredibly transparent with our weekly syncs so every team is recognized for their amazing work. A great company in that regard.
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Respect engineering more. You constantly laude sales and marketing and others, and routinely assert management wins in product over the teams that actually delivered

What did you like most about the interview process?
The interview process is very much people over process. It can be easily tailored to fit the company or canididates needs
Review from Engineering Dept
getting to meet lots of smart, impressive engineers

At the time, the company was still really small, so it didnt feel like a rigid process. Much more focused on how you can talk through a problem and identify various solutions rather than trying to give people esoteric questions about information they would never use.
Review from Engineering Dept
Highly personal, big emphasis on culture fit.
Review from Engineering Dept
It was fast and real.

Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Stop making me feel like I need to sacrifice all waking hours to deliver
Review from Engineering Dept
Transparency - execs will sometimes change things and not acknowledge or announce it, word will just spread from person to person. Speed - working quickly is important but there is definitely such a thing as too fast - can result in mistakes and sub par products.
