      High leadership friction and sudden layoffs - Marketing DevRev Employee Review

      Pros

      The founders have a great reputation, and the company is backed by good funding. The biggest perk of joining? You’ll become amazing at managing people. Senior management can be tough to deal with, which will force you to level up your people-management skills quickly. To be clear, this isn't a reflection of an employee's competence; it's just about learning how to navigate big personalities.

      Cons

      Your Slack could get deactivated one morning without prior notice, and the severance pay is pretty low. You will also be expected to work well past your regular hours without any overtime pay. On top of that, upper management is very self-focused. If you are a junior or mid-level manager, you will be handling most of the day-to-day operations, while leadership calls all the major shots. When it comes to strategy, you won't really have a say – even when you share good ideas, they often get shot down. To be clear, this has nothing to do with an employee being incompetent; it's just the nature of the leadership style here.

      Pros

      If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to hone your AI skills, this is an excellent company to join. You’ll be surrounded by knowledgable, tenured coworkers, so you’ll have real room to grow and develop your career. People are generous with their time, invested in your success, and easy to reach when you need anything from a quick answer to a deeper walkthrough. The role offers considerable autonomy, so feeling comfortable with taking initiative is key.

      Cons

      No cons that come to mind

      Pros

      DevRev does have a nice and what should be a relevant product.

      Cons

      The company suffers from focus. They are trying to figure what the wedge is that gets funnel moving. The company needs a strong head of marketing, a strong head of product marketing and a strong global sales officer to take a strong and consistent message forward. The company moves a little slow for the AI space. Sales gets frustrated with constant movement in messaging.

      Thanks for the thoughtful feedback – it's clear you believe in what we're building, and that means a lot. Go-to-market in a fast-moving AI space is a challenge every company in this category is navigating. Keeping messaging sharp and consistent while the product evolves rapidly is something we're focused on, and input like yours from the field helps us prioritise what matters most. We're continuing to invest in our go-to-market motion and leadership. The startup hunger you're describing is exactly the energy we want driving us forward. Appreciate you being part of the journey.
