Awful Company - Avoid at all Costs - Software Engineer TripleLift Employee Review

- Work with smart people who genuinely care about what they're doing and who they're doing it with - Execs are transparent about company performance and top priorities - Lots of opportunities to learn and work with different teams, people are approachable and want to help you - AI is a focus and encouraged -> enterprise claude licenses for everyone

- Things move quickly and there's been lots of change, so you need to be comfortable adapting - Teams tend to be pretty lean, which means there's often an opportunity (and expectation) to take on work outside your normal job

The company offers a front-row seat to observe how leadership decisions directly shape (and often undermine) culture, which can be an educational experience for those early in their careers. There are also opportunities to develop resilience and adaptability in a fast-changing and, at times, unpredictable environment. Colleagues are generally supportive, likely as a result of navigating shared challenges.

The new executive leadership team (CFO, CEO, COO, and Chief People Officer) set a tone that is, quite frankly, the most troubling I’ve ever encountered in my career. There was a consistent lack of professionalism and empathy in how employees were treated, particularly during terminations. I personally witnessed senior leaders treat these moments with an unsettling level of casualness that made it difficult to trust leadership’s judgment or values. Equally concerning was the culture reinforced by some of the Chief People Officer’s direct reports, who mirrored the same dismissive and, at times, callous approach to people management. The past year exposed patterns of behavior that I found genuinely unsettling and, at times, difficult to reconcile with any reasonable standard of leadership. It ultimately became a case study in how quickly culture can deteriorate when accountability, professionalism, and basic respect are absent.
