Pros

Good people to work with at the peer level

Cons

One of the most negative work experiences I've ever had. Sequoia is yet another company that simply does not follow it's values. Middle management is completely oblivious and disconnected. They don't have a way to accurately track performance or workloads and are totally clueless as to what true leadership is and how it can increase engagement and productivity. Suckups, kool-aid drinkers, and brown nosers are rewarded despite being horrible at their actual jobs. Meanwhile, true performers are discarded like trash and let go because management is too stupid to realize they were the ones actually fixing the issues. Completely unethical and probably illegal work environment. Any response this company shares to this review and be stuck you know where bevause it certainly won't come from a genuine desire to fix anything. There's a reason why 30% of employees don't even feel they're treated as human beings. Shame on this company!!

Pros

Read the reviews. This company is a shell of what it once was. This company used to be THE BEST place to work for. I was genuinely happy to share with others the positives of this company and how I’d recommend it to anyone. I will say most of the people I worked with were pleasant, and I’ve made some great relationships along the way.

Cons

This place has gone downhill fast. Expect long hours, especially during peak season, with little regard for sustainability. Leadership constantly changes direction, which creates confusion, wasted work, and frustration across teams. There’s no clear communication—employees are often left in the dark on major initiatives that directly impact their roles. Internal growth is extremely limited. Roles aren’t transparently shared, promotions are rare, and career progression feels more like luck than merit. Recent company decisions have made things worse. New offerings have been rolled out without a clear framework, and teams are expected to execute regardless of whether the product or process is actually ready. In some cases, products are pushed to clients even when they’re not a strong fit. Morale is low across the board. Turnover is handled poorly, with little transparency, which only adds to the uncertainty. It’s hard to ignore the feeling that employees are treated as expendable rather than valued. At this point, most people seem to be sticking around hoping things improve—but there’s little evidence to suggest that will happen anytime soon.
