Pros

- Company is growing - Product is very good but has a ton of competition (upstarts, legacy/enterprise, custom builds)

Cons

- New AI builders are a bit scary for Retool's value prop - No where close to "hyper-growth" - Marketing??? No one knows about Retool other than people who know about Retool. It should be a viral product. I don't think I've seen a single Retool re-targeting ad. It's really odd. - All the usual start-up growing pains, nothing out of the ordinary

Pros

Fast pace, with plenty of opportunity to work with modern tooling, supportive culture, and solid engineers

Cons

Retool’s in the middle of a transformation into the world of AI-driven app building and it’s caused its fair share of attrition. But, at least there’s strong buy-in across the company at this point

Pros

It’s hard to find a company that seems to genuinely care about their employees. Leadership and frontline listens if you explain context and present solutions to challenges. Sales org is strong. Solid partner strategy. Product teams leaned in and listening. Flexible and supportive work life balance. And a really interesting and exciting direction in term of product market fit. Good benefits.

Cons

Calendars get busy fast during the day. Lots of competing priorities because we’re trying to compete with an ever changing market.
