Vantaggi

Fivetran does one thing well and that's hiring great ICs. Benefits are fairly competitive.

Svantaggi

The culture has taken a major hit in the last year or so. There is a lack of transparency from leadership and decisions are made haphazardly. Fivetran was in the process of promoting folks and conducting internal interviews and within two weeks of that decided to layoff some of those people. Layoffs were handled extremely unprofessionally. They sent out an email late on a Friday for a mandatory meeting with HR on Monday, only to those who were affected. They made changes to the Sales Team comp plan, goals are unattainable and it is impossible to make a meaningful change in your quota attainment for nearly a year with this new model. Pay varies widely among people doing the same job. The longer you've worked at Fivetran, the less you make compared to your peers who were hired on more recently. Many of the managers and executive leadership team at the top are close friends outside of work and it shows. Leadership does not take well to feedback, especially at the very top with the CEO, who gets combative on All Hands when a question is asked he doesn't like. Fivetran used to be a great place to work, but I wouldn't recommend it now.

Vantaggi

truly a great culture when I joined, and honestly a great product picking up speed.

Svantaggi

culture was lost a little bit over time, and company direction is different (low cost competing with enterprise motion) but still doable as a sales person.

Vantaggi

- Most of the engineers I worked with were supportive and show cased 1T1D - Fair base pay when compared with other similar companies. - Work/Life balance was not bad.

Svantaggi

- Some leaders lack the strategic vision needed to effectively manage their teams, and there is a noticeable tendency toward micromanagement rather than empowering employees to do their best work. Office politics, unfortunately, plays a larger role than merit in some parts of the organization. - Leadership roles appear to carry more job security compared to individual contributors, regardless of performance outcomes. During cost-cutting exercises, smaller organizations such as QE tend to bear a disproportionate impact, with positions being eliminated seemingly independent of individual performance records while under performers in other areas are retained. - For anyone considering joining Fivetran, it would be worth thoroughly researching the specific team before accepting an offer and keep it as a last option. Groups such as Platform and QE has notable leadership challenges that have impacted the overall work environment and employee experience.
