Vantaggi

I can't think of any.

Svantaggi

Matillion is currently having what it calls a “transformative year” wherein it is transformed from being one of the better tech companies to work for to the worst I have ever seen. The board, in their infinitesimal wisdom, have decided, against all evidence, that radical changes are required in “ways of working”. To that end, remote workers living within 30 miles of their offices, including many who are explicitly contracted as remote workers, have been sent new hybrid contracts. The board have unlawfully demanded that all such staff sign these contracts regardless of the costs they will incur or their personal circumstances. Those who refuse are being fired. All this follows on the heels of an extended crunch in which Matillion engineers, working remotely, delivered a massive new SaaS application for the company in record time. I challenge Matillion HR to deny any of this. There is a widespread sense of justified outrage about all this and the previously good relationship between senior management and the engineers has turned toxic. A mass exodus of key engineering staff is well underway and the company may not be viable for much longer.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Our strategy for 2023 is centred around productivity, which means a lot of change to our systems, processes and ways of working. We’re sorry to learn that this volume of change has impacted you personally. We always thoroughly consider the impact of change on our people, this includes offering a one-time salary increase to all those transitioning to hybrid working to help through the change. If we got this wrong for you, we’re sorry. Thank you for playing your part in the launch of the DPC. We’re incredibly proud of what the team have achieved and hope that was reflected in the cash bonus and share options rewarded to the whole team. Thank you again for your feedback; I genuinely would appreciate a conversation with you if you’d be comfortable. Please get in touch with People Operations or Laura Pierce to arrange this.

Vantaggi

I'm 15 years into my career having worked for hundreds of companies (consulting). Matillion's culture is ranked top 3 and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one outside of some fancy Silicon Valley startup that works remotely from Bermuda and grows their own wheat grass. Also, in my top three ever is Matillion's leadership. Matillion's executive team is strong from an IQ and EQ perspective. The vision is great and they've adapted beautifully to market. They've also hit their growth targets which is in line with other top SaaS companies. Read the values on the website. If they resonate with you then join Matillion. When I joined almost two years ago, the CEO approval rating was the highest I've ever seen (95%) and the ratings were 4.5. This has been diminished purely because of layoffs but the 95% and 4.5 are still here, I promise you.

Svantaggi

Like every company in the last 18 months, Matillion has gone through some growing pains but this is mostly because of having to ruthlessly adjust to the recession we are in. And, juxtaposed against Matillion's large funding rounds in 2021, this, of course, resulted in layoffs. Rapid hiring (3X'ing the size) + followed by a recession = layoffs, and what follows is a new culture that had to adapt. Some employees didn't like that and that's what you read on this page recently in the reviews.

Vantaggi

None management people are super kind and friendly Good health insurance

Svantaggi

Lack of direction Mismanagement while somehow also over managing Ever changing KPIs and high churn What was once a leading product has been overtaken by its highest competitor Hostile and demeaning leadership Expected to learn product and process while actively selling and managing accounts during onboarding Heavy internal politics that come off as very high school clique No one (including the Sales Engineers) knows everything about the product so there’s pressure to push unviable solutions unknowingly RTO for local employees is crushing moral
