Pros

A lot of passionate folks working in a space that lacks passion. Hey, it's telephones, so what do you expect. Pretty casual environment (outside of sales) to work in and a great location. Some really cool people to work with and hang out with as well.

Cons

HR/People - Well, their really isn't this function at Dialpad. For a company of 160 people it is very surprising. They talk about how important the people are but they put zero effort in building the right team to support this effort. This size of organization demands leadership and experience which will fix many of the other issues found in the company. Sales - Dialpad has always talked about how much they care about the employee. When you hire a CRO that doesn't care about people, good people will leave. Current leadership has decided process over people. The lack of experience/leadership currently in place is surprising for such a high profile company. Marketing - Big talk but little execution to drive sales. Never once has sales and marketing been on the same page. End of story.

Pros

Definitely one of those tech jobs that you can call “full-time” but do in 5-10 hours/week and pick up another job. Thats about it for pro’s.

Cons

Been here a few yrs and have had 5 different managers. I hit quota about 1 quarter per yr which hasn’t got me fired because I get a new boss every 8 months (they all leave or get canned when the CEO changes the vision…again). Last month on an all-hands he said “if you want a work life balance, don’t work here” - which is hilarious and ironic because tons of reps make more at their other “real job” and he has no clue. The culture is annoying at best, toxic at worst. We have had like 1400 FTE’s for the last 3 yrs, over 1200 new hires in the past 12 months, the turnover is insane. I’m resigning this month so being super authentic here. Pay is below market value. The product is good…until the vision changes and we “have to sell” the new stuff. Genuinely feel bad for people who get hired here and it’s their only job.

Thank you for your candid feedback and it is unfortunate that you do not feel motivated to do your best work. We certainly have many who do. Management transitions are not easy, but are something we put a great deal of time and effort into. We have invested a great deal into our sales organization, and we hope that it shows. However, we are committed to continuous innovation (one of our core values) and we will always be evolving and improving. We hope that you find a work environment that is better suited for you.
