Pros

The ICs are generally all cool people

Cons

If you’re looking for a new job, filter reviews by the newest. When I first joined Routable, I probably would have given it 5 stars, too. Leadership appeared to be super cool, they had a nice product and it was overall a fun company. Over the 1.5 years I worked there, things DRASTICALLY changed. In 1.5 years, there was ~4 layoffs? That’s pretty insane, and 100% due to incredibly poor leadership. The CEO is a nice enough guy but he’s totally delusional because Routable is his baby and refuses to see that there is no product/market fit. If you’re interviewing for a sales job here, ask about the turnover and quota attainment of the AE team. If they tell you anything other than ZERO quota attainment and 99% turnover, they’re lying. People leave because they quickly realize they are not making any money. Why? The CEO would like to think it’s a lack of talent but it’s clearly the horrible product market fit, no marketing (everything is sales outbound and the meetings booked are not qualified at all), no ICP, and the inability to stand out against our competitors. We truly do not have anything special over them, and they have tenfold the features and functionality compared to us. It’s a losing rat race, and every salesperson that has ever worked at Routable has seen the writing on the wall and left. The eng and product team are completely in the dark about the failing product and lack of product market fit other than a few executives that started to join sales meetings. Otherwise they have no clue and are continuously surprised by the turnover within the sales department. The CEO thinks we are just not great salespeople, but how do you hire 10+ AEs, all with incredibly successful backgrounds, go through 6+ rounds of interviews including a mock discovery and a project, decide to hire them….and they ALL turn out to be duds??? Yeah, not quite. The product absolutely sucks and is unsellable. Our top clients that we use in all our marketing are all investors lol. The OTE is a completely lie, you’ll hardly make any money above your base. 0/10 do not recommend

Stay FAR away

Pros

The individual contributors are super cool, made some great friendships

Cons

Where to start. First off, if you're in sales and looking to make money or grow your skill set, stay FAR away. The OTE looks nice on paper, but that's because it's completely unachievable. I don't think a single rep (SDR or AE) has ever hit quota - maybe one time? That should be an immediate red flag to leadership, but it's not. Get ready to make pennies in commission because they set you up for failure. Quota gets bigger every single quarter but you get absolutely no help from marketing and you're selling to a market we're going to lose in every single time. Product/Market fit does not exist. Routable is the CEO's baby, so he refuses to see the writing on the wall, but even deals that he gets involved with do not close. We are going up against long-standing competitors in this space that actually have the features to service mid-market clients. Guess who doesn't? Routable. We have not drilled down a tight ICP so we are throwing darts at the wall hoping something sticks. Not a single exec knows our what our ICP looks like, and we have zero marketing. Try out bounding with no ICP - near impossible. Then if we get lucky and someone actually books a demo, we can't even sell them because we are so far out of the MM league it's not even funny. It's just a waste of everyones time. The SDRs get paid out on every demo they book even if it immediately moves to C/L. Because literally 80% of the demos booked (which is not a lot btw), do not move forward in the sales cycle. You also will be hyper micro managed to the point that you can't even send a single email without getting 3 pairs of eyes on it. Like WTF is the point of having AEs or SDRs if leadership does not trust them to to the job they hired them for? You'll feel unmotivated QUICK because you'll realize you can't do anything on your own and ultimately the CEO will run every single deal you have (into the ground). The SDR turnover is astronomical. Like we're basically in an endless training loop because we can't keep SDRs longer than a couple months before they realize it's a micro-managed rat race AND nobody is making any money bc the quota is so unachievable. If you are interviewing and they tell you ppl are hitting quota - it's a lie. You will NOT make any money here.

Pros

honestly not much. the people are kind and great to work with

Cons

hands down one of the worst career experiences of my life. the sales leader is incompetent and the worst micro manager ive ever seen. there is absolutely no trust from the ceo to sales, and most importantly - the product does not work. there is no product market fit, customers are churning at an exponential rate once they realize the ceo made false promises to them, and overall just one of the worst built payment platforms + orgs ive ever seen.
