Pros

Smart people worked here. Before I left, I was amazed at how intelligent and effective the people were. Unfortunately Branch pushed most of them out and I can’t vouch for current team.

Cons

No motivating message/ lack of meaningful direction. Branch grinds people down but lacks a compelling narrative to keep people inspired. It’s chasing second place in an industry that peaked 4 years ago. It’s clear the company will not IPO, so the employees are working hard so th investors can squeeze a few more dollars from an eventual acquisition. Even more demotivating, executive leadership is uninspired and mid management lacks any authority to effect meaningful change.

Thank you for your feedback! It seems that you are no longer with Branch, but I am happy to hear that you had a great experience with your colleagues while you were working at Branch. I agree-we do have a really talented group of employees. It sounds like most of your concerns are around the current state of the company, and I genuinely appreciate you sharing. I know it can feel demotivating to work in an environment where the vision isn’t clear and compelling. We are actively working towards some really exciting sales and product goals for the next few years, and it is on us to make sure we are communicating effectively and in a way that inspires people to do their best work. It sounds like we missed the mark with you, and I am truly sorry for that. Please don’t hesitate to share any other specific feedback with either the People Team or DK, and we hope you’re doing well!

Pros

Compensation is fair and even above market rate for some positions, insurance/benefits are amazing for a company this size, and engineers are allowed to work without a lot of red tape of bureaucracy to do what needs to be done. Additionally, management is actively invested in employee development regularly making it a point to participate in experimentation for experimentation purposes; leading to ahead of the curb distributed stack adoptions.

Cons

Very few other than communications between teams could be better.
