Vantaggi

Not the worst company in the world. Some of the benefits are ok.

Svantaggi

If you're considering a career at Webflow, think twice. Despite their boastful claims of having a strong set of core behaviors, a positive culture, and being a great place to work, the reality is far from it. Many employees are suffering in silence, too afraid to speak up about the toxic environment they work in. Not only have I heard of multiple instances where people have had to take extended time off for their mental health due to mistreatment by their managers, but there are still those in leadership positions who ought to resign for their mistreatment of their direct reports. In fact, one already did, but that was a couple of years ago, and there are still a few more who need to follow suit. If you experience discrimination or prejudice, don't bother reporting it to HR, as they ignore these kinds of complaints. Advancement opportunities are scarce, and if you're a gender minority or disabled, good luck with that. Despite having women and people of color in leadership positions, this company still fails when it comes to inclusivity and fairness. Your valid concerns and complaints will likely be ignored. And you might just end up with a manager who regularly humiliates, degrades, or otherwise stresses you. I've heard countless horror stories from former colleagues, and I'm just grateful to have escaped. Don't be lured by the supposed benefits, either. The healthcare plan may be decent, but the reimbursement for health, wellness, and productivity, though nice in theory, is taxable and only adds up to about $6k a year. And there's no 401k matching. So, don't be fooled into thinking you have great benefits when you're actually being underpaid. Webflow wants to present itself as a responsible and progressive tech company, but in reality, it's anything but. Accepting a job offer from them is a risk, and I wouldn't advise it. I've seen it all, and I can assure you, you're better off looking elsewhere.

Vantaggi

- Seriously smart, kind coworkers - good culture even though remote, offsites and office if you want them - real ownership and trust at the IC level - C-suite and leaders are genuine and accessible - Proudly being remote-first seems to be rarer and rarer these days, no RTO anxiety - Time off, recharge days and sabbaticals are great

Svantaggi

- No longer covering 100% of healthcare costs, which was a very nice benefit - Lots of new people means it's harder to get to know people outside your teams - Things change, fast. Buckle up.

Vantaggi

Working at Webflow has been one of the most energizing chapters of my career so far. It’s fast-paced and high standards, but in a way that pushes you to grow. One thing I’m proud of is how much we’ve invested in enablement and setting teams up for success. Over the past year, there’s been a huge focus on building structured onboarding, better training, and more thoughtful support for our internal teammates. It’s not “figure it out yourself.” You can feel the intentionality behind it. On the sales side Webflow can feel like a technical product at first. But that’s also what makes it powerful and so loved by it's user base. Once you understand the value, it becomes a natural and compelling story to tell. The product is strong, and when customers see it in action, it clicks. Selling something you genuinely believe in makes a big difference. Growth opportunities are also very real here. If you raise your hand and take initiative, you’ll be trusted with meaningful work. I’ve seen people expand their roles quickly, move across teams, and step into leadership opportunities because performance and ownership are rewarded. The team has grown a lot, and in a remote environment, sometimes that can be hard but I’ve been impressed by how connected it feels! People are thoughtful, collaborative, and generous with context. There’s a strong documentation culture, open communication, and leaders who share the “why” behind decisions. Overall, Webflow is a place where motivated people can have real impact, grow quickly, and work alongside smart, kind teammates.

Svantaggi

can be slack heavy at times, but that's normal for a remote-first org

Thanks for taking the time to write this, especially the detail on enablement. That investment has been deliberate, and it's good to hear it's showing up in how people experience their first months here. Building a strong foundation shouldn't be left to chance, particularly with a product that has real depth to it. Glad the growth piece resonates, too. Raising your hand and being trusted with meaningful work is how things should work, and we try to make that real at every level. On remote connection: we've learned a lot over the years. Operating as remote-first has pushed us to build real infrastructure around documentation, integrated tooling, structured onboarding, and transparent communication. That work has made us sharper. And we've also learned that some things don't have a remote substitute. There are moments where being in the same room matters, and we're deliberate about creating those. The model isn't perfect, but it's ours, and we keep making it better. Slack volume is a real trade-off with being remote-first. We're always looking at ways to make that more manageable, Slack me if you have ideas 😅 Appreciate you sharing your experience. - Mike, SVP People
