Pros

Good pay. Lovely modern office. People genuinely want to do good work and are all approachable. No big egos here (for the most part). Great website - many companies don’t put as much work into their websites. Culture was okay - you felt like a part of something bigger than you. Highspot platform is nice to look at.

Cons

In the beginning it was a cult-like culture of Highspot or die but since the layoffs, people (IC's mostly) became dejected and were just trying to stay above water. There is a lack of transparency across the board from both managers and execs. Nobody actually uses the Highspot platform to its full capacity, not even the GTM teams whose jobs are to sell it. Product teams releasing new features that no one at Highspot actually utilised or cared about. No alignment across teams yet keeps promoting sales and marketing alignment (ironic). All the good people left (or were let go). Many who have remained have equity. 3 layoffs in 8 months. Performative DEIB. OBSESSED with the competition. EMEA market is an afterthought for Seattle execs. Everyone is expected to praise Highspot on LinkedIn. Bad data.

Pros

Great Seattle office location by the water. That's all.

Cons

Terrible executive and senior leadership with no clear direction. Toxic culture of nepotism and favoritism, and just all around political games, using folks as political pawns / throwing them under the bus. It's very clear why they have not made Best Place To Work in years now. Do not come to HS. Look elsewhere.
