Product stability is poor and customers feel the impact Customer-facing teams are blamed for churn caused by product issues New features are prioritized while existing functionality remains unreliable AI initiatives are pushed despite many customers needing basic stability first Leadership is defensive when concerns are raised Favoritism and lack of accountability are visible at senior levels Strong focus on public image, including encouragement to post positive reviews Working in Customer Success here was exhausting because you are constantly expected to retain customers while being given a product that often makes retention extremely difficult. The platform feels fragile. Errors, regressions, and reliability issues are common enough that they directly affect customer conversations. It often feels like the product is being held together by the effort of overworked employees rather than by a stable foundation. Customers do not care about internal excuses — they care that the system works. Too often, it simply does not work well enough. The most frustrating part is the disconnect between what customers need and what leadership chooses to prioritize. Instead of focusing heavily on stability, performance, reliability, and fixing core functionality, the company keeps pushing new features and AI initiatives. Many customers are not asking for AI. They are asking for a dependable calling platform that does not break, throw errors, or create more operational problems for their teams. This puts Customer Success in an impossible position. Clients leave because of product quality, outages, bugs, or broken workflows, but the pressure often lands on customer-facing teams as if churn is caused by a lack of effort. You can be the best CSM in the world, but you cannot “relationship-manage” your way out of a product that repeatedly fails customers. When concerns are raised internally, the response can feel defensive and dismissive. Instead of focusing on the substance of the issue, leadership may focus on tone, wording, or how the message was delivered. That discourages honest feedback and creates a culture where people hesitate to say what everyone can already see. There are good people here. Some colleagues have clearly been through enough incidents that they stay calm even when everything is on fire. Many do their best to help customers and support each other. But the effort of a few capable people is not enough when the broader leadership and product direction keep creating the same problems. There is also a noticeable focus on reputation management. Employees have been encouraged to leave positive reviews online. Asking for feedback is fine, but when the emphasis feels like improving the public image rather than addressing the internal reality, it becomes hard to trust the rating at face value. Anyone considering a role here should read a wide range of reviews and pay attention to repeated themes, especially around leadership, stability, churn, and burnout. My time here left me burned out. The environment is draining because customer-facing employees are stuck between frustrated clients, unstable product experiences, and leadership that often seems more interested in messaging than accountability.

As with many fast-growing companies, priorities and processes can change quickly, which sometimes creates uncertainty or additional workload.
