Pros

Great coworkers, company started as a great place to be, sometimes you get some freebies. Great health insurance.

Cons

Under constant threat of layoffs, HR does a great job at lying. Babel street will do anything they can do to make a quick buck, no long term thinking. Their solution is just to offshore workers and remove top talent, as the executive team constantly fumbles losing costumers right and left. Babel street has 0 vision beyond how can the executive team get their next bonus check.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Feedback like this — even when it's difficult — is something we take seriously. We're glad the people and benefits stood out as genuine strengths. The relationships built here matter, and that reflects the kind of culture we're committed to protecting and growing. We won't dismiss the harder feedback. Organizational changes are disruptive, and we know that uncertainty can create anxiety when communication doesn't keep pace with decisions. That's something we're actively investing in. Over the past year, Babel Street has been building more structured systems around leadership development, manager accountability, performance clarity, and internal communication — not as a quick fix, but as part of a deliberate effort to build a more operationally disciplined and people-centered organization. Babel Street is in a real period of transformation — strengthening our revenue engine, developing our leaders, and building the talent infrastructure to grow sustainably. We believe the best is ahead, and we want people who are part of that journey to feel it. We genuinely wish you well, and appreciate the years and dedication you brought to the team.

Pros

Interesting projects and modern stack. Good people.

Cons

Don’t expect any clarity on progression and salary growth. Timelines provided are just a means to delay and get pushed back repeatedly
