Mixpanel Reviews

Pros

Mixpanel is full of brilliant, and fiercely determined people working on solving really hard analysis problems at a super massive scale. It's an endlessly interesting and rewarding project, especially if you are the type of person who has a love of learning (and an open mind to do so). If you believe that data (specifically behavioral data) will be at the center of humanity's future, Mixpanel is where you will be best poised to be a part of it. The leadership is both wise and humble - willing to openly admit mistakes and capable of making really solid decisions. That combination is rare (in my experience). There are MANY stand-out I.Cs who are at the top of their respective fields, yet still approachable in most cases. Overall, the culture is inclusive, yet determined. Growth is responsible, built into a sustainable business model. It is my hope that I can spend my entire career working here.

Cons

Sink-or-swim enablement, strong impetus on "figuring it out yourself". Recognition is generally reserved for "above and beyond" work as opposed to quality work. Don't expect to be spoon-fed with extensive training... you'll be disappointed. Behavioral analytics is a fiercely competitive space - this requires that decisions are made quickly. That's both a pro and a con, depending on your perspective.

Pros

- Product: World-class product in a large and growing market - Impact: Found our stride in shipping really impactful improvements that are reflected in our qualitative and quantitative metrics. I feel like every project I work on has a direct impact on our business. - Compensation: We're compensated very well even without considering the equity upside (which is huge). - Coworkers: I love my coworkers. They're smart, pragmatic, introspective, and genuinely nice people. - Leadership: Leadership really cares about people and diversity. Yes, diversity is a problem across tech and it's not an easy one to solve but they continue to work and iterate. Our CEO was recently named one of the Top CEOs for Women in 2021.

Cons

No job is perfect and growing pains exist at any growing company. A few things I see we need to improve on: - Mentoring - Onboarding new employees - EPD -> GTM communication (which has gotten better recently)

Pros

-Good work life balance with trust and flexibility. -Great people. I like my team and manager. Overall solid talent in every org. -Process and structure in place which is nice especially with career growth. Every 6 months we have a review cycle with career development panels. Great structure to learn and grow in your career! -Our product is fabulous!

Cons

I do think there needs another level of management/leadership. Some things don’t need to be as difficult as it is.

Pros

Great team - Transparent, smart, reflective and open.

Cons

Need to move faster at times.

Pros

Lots of good people that are fun to work with. Benefits are great. The data product and space are both pretty cool. Free lunch, snacks and drinks when we were in the office but they might take that away or go remote

Cons

Inexcusably slow growth at a time when our customers, competition, and data market are thriving. Leadership sells the situation as positive and with unrealistic expectations while doing more of the same and quietly adjusting the board plan lower and lower. Seriously....... treat us like adults. They laid off a ton of people last year and took PPP (all public knowledge now) you expect us to think we're good? Do you think our competitors are thriving and raising tons of money while no one is taking a second to question the poor decisions and strategy of leadership? Maybe time to reassess? Since the start of 2020, 5+ vp level leaders and heads of critical departments have bailed. Literally more than half the team of product managers and about half of our product marketing team just left in the last month. They have curbed growth since they hired ex-consultant to "right size spending" and strategically limit careers to save a buck. Somehow more responsibility and customer services business units just go default to the CPO who cannot express a clear thought and just word vomits recycled longwinded nonsense. CEO even jokes about this in allhands. This makes more customer services people leave. No one even knows who is in charge of marketing. All this and CEO says "attrition is totally within expectations". If you are considering an offer, take that as a sign and ask direct questions about the why so many people are bailing and the company health. Leaders are leaving because they know.. it's time to to jump ship

Pros

pay isn't bad, work life balance is good, i like my peers, there are lots of down to earth people who deserve better

Cons

way too much favouritism, recruiting encouraged to embellish actual opportunities, i was lied to about actual career advancement, hollow diversity initiatives, obvious problems with work culture that are avoided rather than worked on, bandaids over real people strategy and investment

Pros

good pm and design, good tools, benefits, snacks, cool product

Cons

competitors are winning, growth is stagnant, and i see little impact to what they want to build moving forward. lost faith in leadership and top down vision already started interviewing and i wouldn't join now
