Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Very open, honest. They talk about the good & the bad things both. Director is empathetic. Managers need to rise up.
They plan fun activities and there is lots of communication- you always feel like you know what is going on.
Clear vision that's pushing the boundaries, while being realistic about how we get there and why it's important to push now.
Amazing product, clear vision to be the best in the world
Great communication, approachable and always willing to hel
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
More collaboration and increased communication
Review from Executive Dept
Not burn through people. Working 12-14 hours a day is not sustainable.
Review from Engineering Dept
They've betrayed the values they promised to uphold. They pretend to listen to employees but don't really, and their recent layoffs were primarily of women who had requested proper feedback and opportunities for advancement.
Review from Sales Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Commision and Wellness benefits are great
Above the market average for the industry.
Equity. I do wish they had 401k match.
They market-adjusted my salary without me asking. Also, stock options.
As an early joiner I have a life changing amount of equity.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Joined at a lower TC, because the company is growing.
401k matching still doesn't exist even though the plan was early 2021
No clear growth path. Constantly understaffed. No real compensation changes and acknowledgment for the work, but we do hire more middle management.
No clear growth path, no benifits. Not seen any significant compansatiin changes in several years.
This is a big company offering startup level salaries.

Super close knit, typically same intrests
work as one team. Your success is my success.
Everyone works hard. Smart and talented people.
Everyone genuinely helps each other get ahead. Rare for a sales org to be so "all hands on deck"
Collaborative and smart. We dont get stuck on problems and we help eachother succeed
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
add fun on top of daily wrk
Review from Sales Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Each person is there to help.
culture of collaboration & feedback helps every employee rise up to the level of the best one.
Always food, snacks and beverages in the office. Focus on communication. We use slack on steroids here which is fun.
Everyone being so genuinely ready to help each other.
Unlike at many other companies, there is little to no animosity between departments or teams. We've got an amazing company culture
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Take care of the people that are there for a longer period. People are afraid of speaking up because of the American culture that is currently going around. Respect that this was a UK / Israel startup and people care about these values.
Hire more IC not VPs

Met many people. Learned a lot about the comoany.
Felt like the interviewers cared. It wasn't drawn-out or arduous

The overall workflow was beautifully orchestrated. What I loved the most is the patience they showed in waiting for the right candidate :)

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Top management hired like crazy and did not see the headwind therefore they are laying off staff where they should be the ones getting sacked.

Review from HR Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
take time to hire the best people that match our values, don't compromise on hiring
Review from Sales Dept
The culture is aspirational. People say one thing and do another. Most people try to live the values and there are others who are in it for themselves and don’t care how their behavior impacts others. The Exec team needs to slow things down so that people can be more relationship focuse
Review from HR Dept
Disappointed by the CEO appointment and anxious this will turn us into just another coorporation.
