Vantaggi

Work with some great people and the pay is decent.

Svantaggi

This place used to be great, but it has completely deteriorated over the past year. Remote work eliminated: What was once a fully remote position now requires mostly in-office attendance on a fixed schedule. Minimal time off: The company provides only the legal minimum paid time off—nothing more. Don't believe recruiters if they describe the time-off policy as "unlimited", that's a huge lie. No work-life balance: The workload is excessive, and colleagues will contact you at all hours of the day and night. Work-life balance is nonexistent. Forced AI adoption: Management pushes AI tools on employees at every opportunity. Layoffs despite growth: The company conducted a large round of layoffs despite strong revenue growth and ongoing hiring. The saddest part is that this company used to be excellent, but leadership stopped listening to employees and everything has gone downhill. They even removed our open forum for anonymous questions and feedback right before implementing a wave of anti-employee policies. I have never worked at a company with this much animosity toward its employees.

Note: Over the past 10 days, we’ve received a much higher-than-usual volume of Glassdoor reviews. We’ve flagged this activity with Glassdoor for review. Regardless, we take all feedback seriously and will continue to respond thoughtfully and transparently. Thank you for sharing your perspective. For long-tenured team members, periods of change can feel especially stark, and we recognize that DealMaker today looks different than it did in earlier chapters. Over the past year, the company has intentionally evolved as we entered a new stage of growth. Our return-to-office approach is a deliberate investment in collaboration, mentorship, and skill development, and sits on the lower end of in-person expectations for technology companies at our size and stage. This shift, along with clearer operating standards, reflects how we are building for long-term scale and performance. We also believe that AI fluency is essential to the future of work and have invested accordingly to equip our team with tools and skills that create leverage and reduce manual effort — not add burden. Decisions around staffing and structure are made deliberately, with the long-term health of the business and our customers in mind. While these choices are not always easy, they are part of ensuring the company remains strong, focused, and well positioned for what’s next. DealMaker today is different by design. This stage requires adaptability, ownership, and comfort with change. It isn’t the right fit for everyone, and that’s okay. We appreciate the time you spent at DealMaker and wish you well in your next chapter. We actively gather feedback through multiple channels and encourage team members to share input with leaders, the People team, or through our ongoing anonymous feedback channel as part of that continuous effort.

Vantaggi

Exceptional people with growth mindsets. Visionary CEO and leadership. Challenging Environment Opportunities to learn and grow. My direct manager is super supportive and leads with empathy. You will never be bored here.

Svantaggi

This environment is amazing but it's not for everyone. We are a very ambitious company and we have large goals. We are a fast growth company and that comes with all the fun and challenges of growth. If you are looking for just a job this place isn't for you. Week one and two (and three) can feel like drinking from a firehose. But if you lean in I promise you will adjust.

Vantaggi

There are some great individuals here who are hardworking and genuinely care about what they do. Team members often try to support each other, especially when things get hectic. The company attracts people who are motivated and willing to put in the effort.

Svantaggi

The biggest issue is the lack of consistency. Priorities change frequently, and it can feel like you’re constantly adjusting without a clear sense of direction. What’s important one week can quickly become irrelevant the next, which makes it hard to stay focused or feel productive. There’s also a disconnect between leadership decisions and how they play out day to day. Plans are set at a high level, but the execution often falls on teams that don’t have the clarity or resources needed to succeed. This creates unnecessary stress and inefficiencies. Communication isn’t always transparent, and employees are often left trying to piece things together on their own. Feedback is shared, but it rarely results in visible improvements, which can be discouraging over time. The pace is demanding, and without strong structure or recognition, it leads to burnout. When you factor in concerns around compensation and workload balance, it becomes difficult to see this as a sustainable long-term role.
