Pros

- Good Product especially if you like to sell to technical and product oriented stakeholders - Good perks & benefits beyond salary as an employee - Overall nice and helpful people, very collaborative

Cons

- Expect fast paced startup environment, numerous operational processes remain unresolved & constant changes are expected - Sales enablement & onboarding is not yet developed enough to empower sales people in the early days - Emerging managers who are in the process of acquiring the skills necessary to effectively nurture and develop talent - The HRBP team not being in the region is not effective in supporting employees and addressing conflict resolution

Thank you for leaving this constructive review. We currently have People Team representatives embedded in each region. It is our goal to ensure we have people on the ground who cultivate culture in each of our regional offices and who partner with our cross-functional leaders in each office. In terms of Sales enablement and onboarding, we are continuously refining our approach to ramp our newest members of our team. Thank you for the feedback!

Pros

None. We're just hanging on for dear life, trying to figure out why we haven't left yet. The pro is that our coworkers bond over similar grievances.

Cons

Know all that stuff you read about a bad startup culture? Well, Mixpanel is it and is the worst of it. If you want a really honest assessment of the situation, do yourself a HUGE favor and google "Uncanny Valley" published by nplusonemag. That piece is about Mixpanel and has been circulating internally. Yes. That piece is about us and it ain't pretty.

Pros

- Great product that re-invented the mobile and web analytics space - Incredible momentum as the mobile space grows - Standard perks like free lunches, dinners, happy hours, toys, referral bonuses - Annual ski trip to Tahoe and other outings - I've made a nice bit of money selling this product - Having Mixpanel on my resume has helped get job opportunities now that I'm planing to leave

Cons

- Relationship between sales (customer) and engineering (product) is terrible: total isolation and now confrontation as the company grows; it's like Revenge of the Nerds but in reverse - Frat culture: the CEO's three favorite things are talking about how much he likes to drink, comparing himself to a gangster rapper, and a juvenile lack of self-awareness - Revolving door of talent: some attrition is to be expected, but even senior-level managers and top performers are leaving in droves (some pretty quickly) - No strategy or focus on growth: some of the numbers look great but others really, really don't - Horrible leadership: yes, he's young and relatively inexperienced, but the CEO also just treats people pretty badly
