Pros

Free food, salary (for some)

Cons

The executives at DevRev love playing this game of "startup theater." They care far more about looking like a hot AI company than actually building one. Most of the money is the founder’s own, so it's his show with no accountability from investors. Underneath, there’s no real substance or focus on doing what startups at this stage have to do: empathize with customers and solve real problems. The culture is toxic, built on deceit, zero transparency, and immense politics. If you value your craft, stay away. The people who are good at what they do leave. The people who stay are good at navigating egos, appearances, and pretending to add value. PS: They ask new hires to write a Glassdoor review within 90 days of starting, hence the large number of vague positive reviews. They also frequently have departing employees sign non-disparagement clauses.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to hone your AI skills, this is an excellent company to join. You’ll be surrounded by knowledgable, tenured coworkers, so you’ll have real room to grow and develop your career. People are generous with their time, invested in your success, and easy to reach when you need anything from a quick answer to a deeper walkthrough. The role offers considerable autonomy, so feeling comfortable with taking initiative is key.

Pros

DevRev does have a nice and what should be a relevant product.

Cons

The company suffers from focus. They are trying to figure what the wedge is that gets funnel moving. The company needs a strong head of marketing, a strong head of product marketing and a strong global sales officer to take a strong and consistent message forward. The company moves a little slow for the AI space. Sales gets frustrated with constant movement in messaging.

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback – it's clear you believe in what we're building, and that means a lot. Go-to-market in a fast-moving AI space is a challenge every company in this category is navigating. Keeping messaging sharp and consistent while the product evolves rapidly is something we're focused on, and input like yours from the field helps us prioritise what matters most. We're continuing to invest in our go-to-market motion and leadership. The startup hunger you're describing is exactly the energy we want driving us forward. Appreciate you being part of the journey.
