I'd like to say that it used to be a company with a great culture, but those times have irrevocably passed. It's good to know that each team still has a few decent professionals and humans.

Inconvénients

I understand that this message may be disheartening to write. However, it has been repeatedly brought to the attention of senior management that the company, with over 800 employees, is no longer operating as a startup. The current model cannot effectively support such a large workforce. Certain departments are experiencing delays and hindering the progress of others. Instead of addressing uncomfortable issues, the focus seems to be on personal gain and preserving individual positions, which is concerning. It is ironic how the fight for democracy has transformed into complete autocracy and chaos within the scope of its responsibility. Rather than focusing on "country", one should begin with establishing transparent processes within their own company. The significant number of layoffs in the US market in a single day is a clear indicator of how people have become mere bargaining chips. The process of reviewing and increasing compensation has been extremely challenging. Work-life balance is non-existent, and there is a pervasive sense of hypocrisy. Many departments are being managed by young and inexperienced individuals who unfortunately prioritize their own decisions over the well-being of the company.

decently nice coworkers. Internet paid for?

Where to begin? Pandadoc is directionless. The company creates revenue because the product is fairly simple and low-cost. And yet, there’s no product roadmap in sight to expand revenue into new markets or geos. Most directors and above are acting within the “peter principle” and shift blame and accountability to lowly ICs. I’ve never seen anything like it in my career. Said “leadership” can’t create a sticky strategy if their jobs depended on it—oh wait! That’s why they scapegoat ICs! Easier to blame an IC2 than take responsibility for their poor choices or no choices for that matter. There’s no top-down planning anywhere at this company. And because there’s no planning, everyone at the bottom has to compensate for the lack of direction and prioritization. That has led to burnout, attrition and the lowest morale I’ve seen at a tech company since 2020. The company has zero career laddering, departments go years without promoting a single team member, but the CEOs inner circle get promotions every year. I’ve never seen a strategy from marketing or sales. Ask an AE how many times Pd has tried to pivot markets or segments!
