Pros
Algolia has great employees and for what it does a great product. The new US office is amazing, and pretty much everyone gets to go to Paris -- even if it makes no sense for what you do.
Cons
Algolia preaches strong culture and a happy work environment, but I would say with certainty that Uber has stronger and better culture than Algolia even does. This company is loaded with nepotism - friends constantly hire their own friends for management positions. I question what sales management actually does. They go to sales meetings, sit there and have no impact or assistance for anyone in the room. They hire people and leave them to fail without trying to properly help or train. Every sales manager has no experiencing managing, and is just riding it out to get a paycheck and be able to call themself a director or VP. It is safe to say that a lot are on their way out of Algolia. People are leaving left and right or are actively looking for new jobs elsewhere before public perception does a 180. Algolia needs to stop marketing itself and hiring on being Enterprise ready.
