They are clear about their goals.
Talkdesk is full of people who are ambitious, scrappy, hard working, passionate, and hard working. The people are the best thing about Talkdesk in my opinion!
Talkdesk encourages a fast-paced and high-performance culture. It's also fully remote, which offers a lot of benefits but can also make the culture inconsistent from team to team. Some teams have amazing culture and some teams struggle to connect remotely.
Talkdesk works its people very hard - it's a high pressure environment and people get burned out very quickly. There's high turnover. It could be improved if the company focused its culture less around singing competitions and more around healthy company norms and employee support.
I feel some teams are paid fairly at Talkdesk and others are not. My own team is paid well below market salary and at the same time is asked to do more than what is common for comparable roles at other companies that pay more. I'd feel better about my compensation if Talkdesk monitored this better.
