Top Review Highlights by Sentiment
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good place, nice and smart people work together.
Cons
Current did not see anything bad
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Flexibility First philosophy. Work from where you want. Offices are slowly opening, but no requirement to go in. We hire around the world, so many employees do not live near a physical office. Serious commitment to supporting intentional distributed / remote work practices. The values are not just words on the website. Sift is a true learning organization that allows employees to experiment and even fail as long as we have an Ever Better mindset where we work together to learn from mistakes and grow together. I keep pinching myself wondering when the other shoe will drop. This company is so supportive of employees in many, many ways. There is a high level of trust and psychological safety. DEI is a huge focus. 56% of the executive team are women. Two board members are women. 50% of people managers are women. The recruiting team very intentionally builds diverse pipelines of candidates and the leadership team truly believes that all types of diversity makes us better as a business. This is a safe space. People share that they can be their authentic selves at work. Leaders are highly transparent and great communicators. There are many people whose job it is to support building employee community which helps us connect with each other across the world in really intentional ways. Employee engagement scores are off the charts.
Cons
Some key supporting functions are being built out so it will take some time to move to the next phase as a company. But the building blocks are in place and progress being made.

It's sometimes hard to get stuff done efficiently
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★

Flexible work schedule Great co-workers, win as one team Benefits and incentives
Cons
Compensation is not where it needs to be
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great community of employees who care about the company and work collaboratively.
Cons
Upper management has had tons of turnover and is disconnected.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
I really enjoy working with my team and the possibilities that exist to grow within the company.
Cons
Sift is currently going through restructuring of the Leadership team. A big shake-up to get us to the next level. Also, Sift does not do a 401k match. Other than that, I can't think of anything negative.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The culture is a friendly one.
Cons
There's little organizational support. Lack of expertise amongst leadership. Product claims don't seem to be on track with what is actually available. Little confidence that Sift currently has an accurate or correct machine learning product, and little belief that the current organization will be able to overcome this hurdle. Seems like a company that just wants to develop "weapons of math destruction."
Continue reading - Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Sift was a really awesome place to work as a Software Engineer. The problems you will face are challenging, and at scale. Billions of events & transactions a month. You will learn a LOT here, be prepared to code out and solve really complex problems. The perks are great, HR & People Ops do a great job sending everyone occasional gifts & freebies. Very inclusive & diverse company, they actually take actions to promote diversity & inclusivity and not use it as a virtue-signaling PR trick. Unlimited PTO is generous and people actually take lots of time off, also many company holidays and mental health days. Leadership has a very clear vision with Product fit & strategy, some really bright and focused upper management. A very bright future for Sift for sure. Although Anti Fraud SaaS is a very competitive space.
Cons
Base salaries could be a higher and more competitive compensation packages. Some tech debt
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great culture when hired, team I worked with was incredibly inclusive, great runway for growth.
Cons
lack of communication, and accountability.
