Databook reviews

- Promotions with new titles and responsibilities, but no pay increases - Lost count after 4-5 rounds of layoffs - No product-market fit, basically a cash-burning, investor nightmare - Low renewals, new deals disappear into thin air, the GTM team is basically non-existent - Pretty toxic work environment, CEO expects everyone to be like him, which means employees with families are liabilities in getting things done - The company probably will have to raise a down round to stay afloat - that's if any investors still believe in the cause -

The company might say it's moving in a better direction, but the consistent layoffs of both tenured and new employees says otherwise. Will this company ever find its footing? Maybe. Will this company succeed in the long run? Unlikely. It's strange working at a company where at least half of your coworkers are actively or passively applying. I've never worked somewhere where it was the norm and people were this open about how they were trying to leave and look for a new job. The CEO is undoubtedly an intelligent person but his presence and persona create more politics than progress. In some startups, you're encouraged to challenge ideas and play devil's advocate. This is not that kind of startup. Instead, it's created a culture where people are incentivized to nod along and agree with the CEO since any sign of professional discord is seen as a problem.
