Pros

• Firing practices are abrupt and lack transparency • No proper feedback or chance for improvement before termination • HR and leadership avoid accountability in people-related decisions • Overall culture creates fear and insecurity instead of growth

Cons

No clear career path or long-term stability • Employees are kept in the dark about changes until the last moment • Creates a toxic environment where people focus on survival instead of growth • High turnover damages team morale and productivity • Leadership talks about being “people-first” but actions prove otherwise

Thank you for taking the time to share a review with us. We understand that business decisions impacting people’s roles can be difficult, and we aim to approach these situations with care, fairness, and professionalism. I’d like to clarify that decisions are made without accountability, and that transparency is not intentionally avoided. We have clear processes in place and expect our leaders to uphold these processes. As we grow and scale globally, we remain focused on building a strong, high-performing culture where expectations, feedback and communication are clear.

Pros

I'm 15 years into my career having worked for hundreds of companies (consulting). Matillion's culture is ranked top 3 and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one outside of some fancy Silicon Valley startup that works remotely from Bermuda and grows their own wheat grass. Also, in my top three ever is Matillion's leadership. Matillion's executive team is strong from an IQ and EQ perspective. The vision is great and they've adapted beautifully to market. They've also hit their growth targets which is in line with other top SaaS companies. Read the values on the website. If they resonate with you then join Matillion. When I joined almost two years ago, the CEO approval rating was the highest I've ever seen (95%) and the ratings were 4.5. This has been diminished purely because of layoffs but the 95% and 4.5 are still here, I promise you.

Cons

Like every company in the last 18 months, Matillion has gone through some growing pains but this is mostly because of having to ruthlessly adjust to the recession we are in. And, juxtaposed against Matillion's large funding rounds in 2021, this, of course, resulted in layoffs. Rapid hiring (3X'ing the size) + followed by a recession = layoffs, and what follows is a new culture that had to adapt. Some employees didn't like that and that's what you read on this page recently in the reviews.

Pros

None management people are super kind and friendly Good health insurance

Cons

Lack of direction Mismanagement while somehow also over managing Ever changing KPIs and high churn What was once a leading product has been overtaken by its highest competitor Hostile and demeaning leadership Expected to learn product and process while actively selling and managing accounts during onboarding Heavy internal politics that come off as very high school clique No one (including the Sales Engineers) knows everything about the product so there’s pressure to push unviable solutions unknowingly RTO for local employees is crushing moral
