Pros

Outside of those in the highest levels of leadership, every employee I worked with at Niche was incredibly supportive and affirming. The projects and people were interesting and engaging. The compensation and benefits were very competitive.

Cons

There are some very serious leadership issues with the CEO, COO and CTO at Niche. I highly recommend that any serious professional (especially if you are a woman) who values healthy leadership, autonomy, respect and creative freedom to look elsewhere for employment. The pervasive leadership issues in this culture are deeply seeded and have been occurring for many years and they are nowhere near closer to solving, or even acknowledging, the very big problems in the organization.

Pros

My direct peers and manager are incredible. The remote work and flexible PTO is a definite plus. I also believe in the product and solution that we are offering to our clients.

Cons

While I believe in our product, the current internal environment is characterized by significant instability. Over the last year, frequent shifts in upper leadership have led to a lack of strategic clarity for ICs and client-facing reps. Key concerns include: - Transparency: Frequent changes to quotas, policies, and compensation structures are implemented without clear communication regarding the "why" or a roadmap for success. -Compensation Alignment: Current trajectory suggests even top performers may miss their signed OTE by nearly 20% or more. -Resource Gap: Expectations have increased significantly, but without the necessary tools or commensurate incentives to reach these new targets. To maintain a high-performing team, there needs to be a better balance between aggressive goals and the support required to achieve them.
