Promising Product, but Major Cultural and Management Issues - Anonymous employee Crunchbase Employee Review

I’ve really enjoyed my experience working here. The culture is collaborative, supportive, and full of people who care about doing good work while also being good teammates. There’s a strong level of trust, while still feeling challenged and engaged. Being fully remote, I still feel strongly connected to my teammates. Leadership communicates transparently and is open to answering questions and listening to feedback. Our CEO, Jager, is very approachable and cares about the people and the success of the organization. Even in a fast-paced environment, people are willing to help each other and work through challenges together.

The environment can move quickly at times and priorities occasionally shift, but overall it’s been a positive place to continue to do meaningful work and work alongside talented people.

Crunchbase is an exciting place to work if you enjoy building through change and helping shape the future direction of a company. As a Product Manager, I’ve had the opportunity to work on meaningful problems across data, AI, GTM tooling, and enterprise workflows, while partnering closely with talented teams across engineering, design, sales, and marketing. One thing I appreciate most is the level of ownership PMs are given. There’s a strong culture of collaboration, and people genuinely care about solving hard problems and improving the business. The company is evolving quickly, which creates opportunities to have real impact and influence on both product and strategy. Our CEO, Jager, deserves a lot of credit for setting a clear vision for where the company is headed. He brings transparency, urgency, and a willingness to make difficult decisions when needed, while continuing to push the organization toward innovation and long-term growth. It’s clear he cares deeply about the business and the people building it. Overall, Crunchbase is a strong place for people who enjoy building, learning, and contributing to a company that is actively evolving its products, strategy, and market position.

Like many companies going through transformation, there can be ambiguity at times, and priorities can shift quickly as the business evolves. Teams that are adaptable and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment tend to do well here.
