Pros

Marketing has done a great job in painting a glossy picture of this company. Employee enablement is really strong, probably the best I have seen in industry. Idea behind the company is a good one, just that it couldn’t execute.

Cons

Eightfold is the benchmark for toxic culture. People work for 24x7 in this company and are still questioned for their sincerity and competence. You are expected to be always on. Senior leaders will send 7am meeting invite and you are expected to be on otherwise you are labelled as incompetent. Oh my god, I have not seen a company worse than eightfold in my 20+ years of working life. Extreme favouritism culture. Friends from past companies prosper. Not a single person has succeeded in this company who hasn’t had any past relation. They either leave or get sidelined. Morale is low across the company and most people are looking for a job elsewhere. This company does not trust and respect people. If you have any self-esteem as a person, never ever join Eightfold. The senior management is so arrogant that you will be ridiculed and abused to your core. You will regret joining this company every day. Please stay away from this company if you can. You will live a more peaceful and mentally healthy life by flipping burger at In & Out vs. working at eightfold. Yeah, it is that bad!

Pros

As a recent hire, my onboarding experience has been surprisingly smooth. Like any high-growth technology company, there is definitely some "drinking from the fire hose" in the first few weeks, but that's largely because there is so much happening across the business. The team has been welcoming, supportive, and willing to invest time in helping new employees ramp up. What has stood out most is the company's vision and the pace of innovation. It feels like there is a constant stream of product announcements, new capabilities, and customer momentum. If you're someone who enjoys being close to emerging AI technology and wants to help shape the future rather than maintain the status quo, there's a lot to be excited about here. The people are smart, collaborative, and genuinely passionate about solving complex problems. There is also a strong sense of ownership and opportunity to make an impact regardless of tenure.

Cons

The pace is not for everyone. Priorities can move quickly as the company responds to market opportunities, and you should be prepared to learn fast and navigate some ambiguity. Having a proactive mindset is important.

Pros

Great career growth opportunities- myself and many other current Account Executives have started as SDR's and have been fortunate enough to move into Account Executive roles. This is primarily attributed to a "hive mind" mentality among the sales development team. The team constantly shares best practices for account/outreach strategy. The team is led my Michael Delzotti- he's played a major role in my development. His wealth of knowledge, ability to coach, and willingness to help with anything at the drop of a hat has made it easy to grow day by day. Additionally, the company as a whole has a culture of innovation , hard work, and collaboration. From a GTM perspective marketing, sales, and product works very well in tandem. Lastly, it's easy to be passionate about the difference our platform can make for our clients and the differentiators that sets us apart from our competitors.

Cons

As the organization continues to grow and develop new products, some GTM functions and strategy can a while to find consistency across the organization.
