Terrible leadership - Software Engineer Casebook PBC Employee Review

Strong learning and growth opportunities, meaningful work, and flexibility in how tasks are approached. The role offers good ownership, exposure to real-world challenges, and opportunities to develop both technical and problem-solving skills.

Some processes and tools are still evolving, but improvements are ongoing as the company continues to grow and scale.

Mission aligned product serving a real market need in nonprofit and human service organizations. Uncapped commission structure. Solo full-cycle AE territories with strong autonomy. The individual contributors on the sales team were good operators and worth working alongside.

Significant gap between Casebook's external Public Benefit Corporation branding and how the company treats its own employees. PBC charters market a higher ethical standard; that standard does not consistently extend internally. I was terminated at the end of Q1 2026 despite finishing my second full month (post-onboarding ramp) at 128% of ramp goal, March at 260%+ of quota with the largest pipeline on the team, and a $133k five-year contract ($700k+ TCV) in final stage. Reasons given for termination did not align with documented performance or any prior feedback I had received. Severance offered was one week, presented as a "goodwill gesture." It is the minimum legal consideration required to make a release agreement enforceable, so a transactional security measure for the company, not generosity to the employee. Anyone offered a separation agreement here should have an attorney review the terms before signing. The termination was driven by senior leadership team decisions on a Q1 operational matter and not by performance, prior feedback, or documented concerns about my contributions.
