Pros

There used to be, but now none.

Cons

What in the name of re-org is going on!! 

I've been working at Iterable for about 2 yrs now, and it started out really well, but we had a massive reorg followed by third round of layoffs where a lot of good engineers were let go and now we're struggling to keep up the work and responsibilities.

 Managers (Engineering / Product) that were hired in the last one year don't know what they are doing and keep relying on ICs to do their jobs. They don't like to listen to transparent feedback about any issues. There’s a ***LOT*** of favoritism and politics and managers are only listening to selective people and opinions, ideas and hard work of others are completely devalued. This company has *HUMILITY* as one of the core values, but surprisingly, you’ll find a lot of people just bragging about how much they know and trying to give excuses for things that didn’t happen and trying to hide their mistakes and dropping blame on everyone else except themselves. And I feel like loosing good engineers just made everything much worse!! :( :( :(

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! It’s great to hear that the shift in our leadership and the focus on moving faster is resonating with you. We are committed to building a culture of high performance and ensuring our promotion processes are fair and objective. Our new leadership expectations are a big part of that, designed to give us a shared standard for what "great" looks like at Iterable. I also appreciate your advice on staying close to our customers; that focus is exactly what we mean when we talk about our core value of "running as one." Thanks again for being part of the team and for your honest perspective. -Jim Bartolomea, CPCO

Pros

There is a tremendous amount of talent at Iterable. The people are smart, they care, they word hard and tirelessly, and they constantly try to find a way to be successful. Often, you even feel joy when with your colleagues because they are truly good humans that believe in the trajectory of the organization.

Cons

If the product is not differentiated, then a company-wide strategy should be instituted on how to land business. If profitability is the most important, then there will not be any land grab opportunities. When your entire company is at a awards dinner and your new CEO stands on stage and cusses you out for not being in seat and you are still not hitting OTE targets, why would you want to stay? The culture is floundering. The product is not moving fast enough to compete. The finance team won't allow creative deal structures. And the culture is not worth the pressure and lack of ability to be successful.
