Clientele Work The best CTO any org can have, but not CEO
Minpunten
1. Words from the leadership in an all-hands - "Disagree & commit or look for alternates" when employees raised questions about internal policies 2. HR is a joke in this company which is publicly evident from their comments on the reviews. All they do is paste the same 3 lines of justification on any glassdoor review and post the exact opposite of what happens in the company on social media. They don't even know the meaning of exit interviews for God's sake. They don't even make an attempt to understand why you are leaving and instead act like you owe them. Any college intern can do a better job and with more integrity than you do. And oh yes, they are hand in glove with the managers when they want to target any employee who voices their opinion and push them to PIP without reasons or evidence of poor performance. The only reason for PIP in this company is so that they can mellow down people who they feel threatened by when questioned about work ethics. 3. They are more than happy to reduce the employee count by creating unnecessary rules of all 5 days of WFO (irrespective of floods - this has happened btw where the suggestion was to take an alternate route by the CEO), micro management, allocating work stations like primary grade, threatening and targeting employees (by middle management) if they take a stand against any of the issues within the team, making false accusations of groupism when a couple of the team members hang out outside office hours. It’s even silly to think that team leadership is playing such childish kindergarten games when their ego is bruised. Grow up! 4. KPIs are tailored in a way to ensure they are non-achievable which in turn means you don't get your variable pay or incentives 5. Unnecessary and redundant internal tools and documents to be managed which tampers client work productivity 6. Toxic work environment created by the senior team management due to their bruised egos

Whatfix is a great place to work if you enjoy a fast-paced, high-growth environment. The team is collaborative, driven, and supportive, and there are plenty of opportunities to take ownership and make a real impact.
Minpunten
Pace can be intense, and priorities may shift as the company scales. Global collaboration across time zones can be challenging.
Pluspunten
- top 10 percentile compensation, timely pay, straightforward PTO/leave policy - Decent benefits package, lunch provided, quick reimbursements, good per diem during travel - Some genuinely smart and talented coworkers who try their best despite blockers - Opportunity for international travel and exposure to premier enterprise clients in what is supposed to be a "fun to sell" space
Minpunten
- The company has been bleeding VERY senior people with lots of institutional knowledge for the past year - Lots of customer churn: hypergrowth narrative is breaking and leadership is panicking and instituting reactive solutions - As a seller, expect the product to not work 70% of the time but be held responsible for it - New joiners are given zero relevant training. You'll be put through hours of product knowledge sessions from "sales enablement" but zero help on anything that matters, such as navigating the illogical CRM + CLM -the internal politics and processes to get anything approved and general apathy that seems to be infiltrating the company. Expect chasing 10 people for one simple task and it being backlogged due to layoffs/understaffing in key teams such as RD and Bids - most are waiting for the next layoff or ridiculous policy change with offers in hand (much better packages as well) - drastically worsening micromanagement, draconian HR/WFO policies treating employees like schoolchildren, resulting in a general culture of fear/compliance - expect to spend more time on admin and writing reports + powerpoints than anything else - no psychological safety to disagree with leadership: only one person's word goes in the sales org. - one race/culture dominates Two paths: company to push forward for an IPO in 2027, or layoff half the company if/when it fails.
