Pros

My co workers were truly great people. G2's team collaboration especially at the mid market segment was great. My manager was emotionally intelligent, they were sympathetic to a lot of the changes going on.

Cons

There is a clear lack of understanding of roles and responsibilities at G2. I would be really curious to see how G2 defines the CSM role. New leadership came in and essentially tripled the CSMs book of business making it near impossible to be anything but a passive non-strategic customer service member. It was expected to have at least monthly meetings with all customers. When there are 80-100+ products in a book it leaves no time to actually get anything done. The restructure also made it extremely stressful when anyone had to take time off or left. It feels like there is a boys club at the top making decisions that even middle management is unaware of. This lead to sales being mad that they had to take on CSM tasks and CSMs being made that they had to take on support tasks to get anything done and leave the customer happy.

Pros

There are genuinely hardworking and talented employees throughout the company who care deeply about their work and support one another. The pace can provide strong learning opportunities, and many individual contributors are doing their best in difficult circumstances. There are also a few truly supportive and empathetic leaders who made challenging situations more manageable.

Cons

Leadership often came across as unprofessional, disconnected, and overly self-important. There was a strong culture of acting as though G2 was the center of the professional world, when in reality many employees were overworked, undervalued, and treated as resources rather than people. While leadership frequently preached authenticity, empathy, and culture, the day-to-day experience often felt inconsistent with those messages. One thing that stood out to me was how much this environment seemed to trickle down from the Employee Success organization itself. While there were absolutely a few supportive and empathetic people on the team, much of the leadership culture within Employee Success appeared more focused on protecting the business and maintaining optics than genuinely advocating for employees. For a function centered around people and culture, that disconnect was difficult to ignore. Employees who voiced concerns or challenged decisions did not always feel respected or heard, and communication could feel performative rather than transparent. There was often a noticeable gap between company branding and the internal employee experience.
