Pros

Individual contributors are, mostly, cool people.

Cons

Completely invisible and ineffective leadership that is openly disdainful of their employees. Most C-levels are in their position because they were yes-people willing to sell their souls by working crazy hours - including the writer of a recent review. (Interesting they’ve been around so long and are so scant on specific details, right?) Go look at LinkedIn and check out the professional history of the executive team; precious few have actual experience doing that job, never mind building and operating a business. That can work when contributors are empowered and inspired, but nobody is. My role is cross-functional and I have not found a single IC/manager in any department that is not battling multiple major fires, and they were raging before the double acquisition. Everything posted here about the Zoom backgrounds and LinkedIn banners is accurate, and that outward appearance is the only thing they’re focused on - not the actual operation of the business or building for the user. The only growth is happening because of buying other company’s customers. All of the financials are being done manually in Excel, so the likelihood that numbers are incorrect is extremely high. The CEO demands in-office work and literally checks the badge scans to confirm people are there!! (Shouldn’t he have 800 better things to do???) There’s NO flexibility to even take a few hours at home if you need it, even though most of the company is now remote. And since you can’t hire the talent you need in 2023 to run a SaaS business without remote talent, holes are plugged by consultants. Who tend to work remote….oh and those invisible C-levels? Guess how many of them live out of town. Nobody can make decisions because there are no goals, no vision, and no guardrails, and people aren’t willing to make mistakes lest they get text messages from the CEO on a Saturday. To make this abundantly clear: Every story (EVERY. STORY.) I’ve heard about the CEO from someone not firmly rooted in his behind paints him as an obsessive micromanager that refuses to be challenged or take responsibility for being the ultimate leader of the company. I’ve not engaged in CEO worship for a long time, for a multitude of reasons, but this one’s complete lack leadership acumen and emotional maturity is outrageous and disgusting. The entitlement to our labor is borderline abusive, and everyone should take their talent literally anywhere else. I’m about to go back to waiting tables to get away from this madness, that’s how bad it is: I would rather work for tips again than give even another ounce of my effort towards making this business a success.

Pros

Reveal is filled with talented, driven professionals, and I genuinely enjoy working alongside my colleagues each day. The company has undergone significant growth over the past few years and has made deliberate investments in maturing its operations, including its processes, products, and people. Amid broader uncertainty in the tech industry, Reveal has demonstrated stability and resilience. For those willing to put in the effort, it is a place where you can meaningfully expand your skill set and take on high-impact projects. The company fosters an environment that encourages learning, ownership, and career mobility. You are never limited to a narrow path.

Cons

The complexity of integrating multiple acquisitions has, at times, introduced distraction and a temporary loss of focus. However, the company’s recent emphasis on organizational maturity and operational stability has enabled a renewed focus on innovation and product development.

Pros

Some people I met were great mentors and helped me learn a lot.

Cons

Team members seemed stressed and slightly unhappy to be working there. They felt overwhelmed with the work and not heard by management.
