Pros

Amazing product and hard working talent.

Cons

Quite possibly the worst sales culture you will ever see. Leadership hires and fires talented people before they are even fully Ramped. It is mandatory that you work 65-80 hr weeks to be successful. This is the expectation, not an every once and a while thing. The sales leaders have never actually been leaders, most just happened to be at the company when it started and fell into leadership positions. Ramp is quite possibly the best marketing company you will ever see because on the outside it looks amazing. The unfortunate part is if the sales culture could ever catch up to the product this could be a world class opportunity. If you have sales experience at any reputable company please please please be careful accepting a role here!

Pros

By and large, customers really like the product. A great fit exclusively for individuals early in their careers with zero external obligations (e.g. no relationship, no children, no friends you intend to speak to or spend time with), no dependency on work-life balance, and a desire to make work their entire identity. If you want to log 100+ hour weeks surrounded by a highly elitist culture, you will thrive here.

Cons

Do not be blinded by the marketing or media coverage. The 'rocketship' narrative is sustained by extreme human collateral. Long-term employees who are candid will tell you that the environment demands the total sacrifice of your health, relationships, and personal life. Retention is incredibly low for a reason - working here is not sustainable if you do not maintain absolute, total focus on Ramp alone. As you can read in every other recent review, work-life balance is fundamentally nonexistent across the entire organization. Expect to work 7 days a week, 15-16 hours a day. Calendar micromanagement is severe; you will be reprimanded for a 15-minute block for lunch or brief breaks between hours of consecutive meetings. The culture resembles an elitist hazing environment in a corporate setting. Management relies heavily on psychological pressure, intimidation, and criticism designed to diminish confidence rather than develop skills. The company looks successful from the outside, while the people working within absolutely crumble under the unsustainable pressure. While the base compensation packages look attractive on paper, when calculated against the actual hourly output required to survive here, you are effectively taking a massive pay cut compared to almost any other market-rate SaaS role. Take the reviews here seriously. Do not fall into the trap of believing your work ethic or boundaries will make your experience different.
