Pros

- Great benefits - Strong base salaries (Customer Success, Talent Management, and Account Executives all make between 85-105k base) - Anytime management talks about candidate feedback it's generally really positive and inspiring to hear how the company has helped them

Cons

To comment on some of the other reviews here: 1. The trip to Puerto Rico never happened. I think the founders are hoping people forget about it. 2. There is no commitment to hiring based on merit within the company. More than half of the employees went to an ivy league. 3. The workload is not "a lot" - its unbearable and the work hours 9-6 MANDATORY to be in the office. You also have to update your slack if you leave the office to get lunch. Zero trust. 4. This company has no integrity - companies and candidates are misled and flat out lied to on a daily basis. Now to comment on my experience: The other review that talks about one specific person in upper management is spot on. This VP acts like she has a ton of experience managing sales reps, but only has experience as an individual contributor and "director" at a company where her father is the CEO. Even though there are other managers and team leads, everything has to go through her. You're not able to do anything without her approving it first. There is no trust or autonomy and she doesn't even try to hide it. On top of that, she's rude, abrasive and condescending to almost everyone at the company. She's incapable of delivering feedback without being downright mean, and most of the time she doesn't give you guidance. It's just, "nope - that's wrong do it again." Working under her feels like working for a tyrant rather than a mentor. More importantly, she doesn't show any appreciation for the hard work her team puts in. She has also tried to fire 2 separate employees after they had been at the company for less than 6 weeks. One was only after 5 days, so beware. Job security is not a thing at this company. It's IMPOSSIBLE to file a complaint against someone because there is only a 3rd party HR function that the CEO ultimately controls. Please - if you're considering working here, look beyond the base salary and well known founders. Triplebyte has had 6+ people QUIT since January 2019. For a company that small, the turnover is unbelievable. It is such a shame because the product is amazing, but as more time passes by the more and more I'm convinced Triplebyte is a sinking ship.

Triplebyte Was the Worst Job I Ever Had!

Pros

Unlimited vacation, relaxed environment, very short and flexible working hours.

Cons

If you're a young engineer who likes nerf guns, foosball, and public humiliation, this is the place for you. If you are a hard-working intelligent person with experience, go work anywhere else. They hire anyone with an ivy-league degree, even if they have no job experience, and then treat them like children. This is not the place if you are an intelligent self-starter with any knowledge or interest outside of technology. I am so thankful to no longer work with Triplebyte and do not suggest taking a role with them.

Pros

I am writing this review to give people a heads up about the toxic culture perpetuated by upper management on TM team. I wish someone had given me a heads up before I dropped everything to accept the offer, so I hope this is helpful. -Good benefits -Product itself is promising -Spend a massive amount on marketing so leads are very good and you don't have to source leads.

Cons

-This review is written in very general terms since apparently it violates the glassdoor policy if I mention the specific person who is responsible for the toxic environment. It is one person though who made it super bad. -To give you some context on how bad the culture was: I resigned after just 5 days into this new role with no financial back up plan. I was given the option to stay, but I didn't want to support the toxic environment and cut my losses early. Glad I did! I returned to my old job partly to regain my confidence after this horrible experience, which I still am traumatized from. -Felt mislead during the interview process. The person who I worked with the most during the onboarding process (a complete nightmare to deal with) interviewed me for only 5 minutes and I found out on my last day there I that she didn't even know what my role was in my previous position. At the end of the day, it's the CEO's job to monitor culture. The Head of TM's and my colleagues were great, it was just this one person in upper management who ruined the experience for me. I think if the environment had been more positive I would have done very well in the role. -Severe micromanagement and lack of trust in employees. -Favoritism - 2 people on the TM team got the most leads according to the TM dashboard, despite them mentioning that leads were evenly distributed. Compare you to other employees publicly. -Upper management didn't even bother to ask why I resigned in 5 days to get my side of the story. I guess they don't want to improve the culture. Even if I am leaving, most companies do an exit interview. They didn't. -Luckily, because I did so well in my previous role, I was able to get my old job back, but it was still a set back and disappointment, especially since I passed up one of the top tech companies to join this one (unfortunately I had signed with TB before I interviewed with the other company) -Humiliate employees in front of others over a minor mistake -Given petty assignments/busy work during the onboarding process -Too many unnecessary meetings. A lot of the meetings could just be done over collaboration in a google doc. Once again, this stems from severe micromanagement. -Close-minded -Don't value employees -Management out of fear. You can still be a good manager without intimidation. Bottom Line: Don't be fooled by the high salary offer of 90k and the 5-star reviews (that are predominantly from the engineering team that has a good culture and only 1 review from sales). This role comes with a lot of baggage. And, as my significant other put it, to good to be true.
