Pros

Great coworkers to start. The trauma bonds you make with others struggling under the same leadership are strong.

Cons

Leadership is the Issue: Unfortunately, Siteimprove is plagued by narcissistic leadership at the top. The CEO and CHRO are more concerned with self-aggrandizement than fostering a positive work environment for their employees. Nepotism and "homie hookups" are rampant among new hires, with past colleagues inevitably having their bridges burnt. This pattern of hiring based on personal connections rather than merit is a huge red flag. My Experience: The CEO and CHRO initially seemed like champions, but that facade quickly crumbled. Senior leaders immediately became the target once a convenient scapegoat was needed for a department's struggles when speaking to Nordic Capital. Look Elsewhere: Unless you thrive in a culture of blame, belittlement, and self-serving leadership, avoid Siteimprove. My recommendation to current and prospective employees is to look elsewhere for a company that values its people and fosters genuine professional development. The reviews are accurate: Siteimprove hired a company to remove true Glassdoor reviews and replace them with fake posts. Ask about attrition and thoroughly filter past review.

It's unfortunate to read that you had a negative experience while at Siteimprove. Though we love receiving employee referrals, we take accusations of nepotism seriously. If any Siteimprove employee was concerned about nepotism in the workplace, we'd encourage them to engage with their HR Business Partner or, drop us a line at feedback@siteimprove.com, an inbox monitored by our HR and Communications teams. To your point about Glassdoor removing reviews, it's likely that it was in violation of Glassdoor’s Community Guidelines and Practices. This is not something we, or a third-party company, can do.

Pros

Clear direction from leadership around the future of the AI product roadmap, and the company goals. Wonderful colleagues. Benefits + perks are fab. Remote-respected!

Cons

Few engineering resources for the work we want to do. Middle management can struggle with prioritization and process.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review about your experience at Siteimprove. It’s good to hear that the company vision, goals, and roadmap are clear and resonate with you. Our CEO and the Executive Leadership Team put intention behind communicating and regularly revisiting our North Star and top-line priorities in Town Halls and other venues. We’re thrilled that your experience with colleagues, the benefits that come with the job, and our remote (and hybrid) workplace norms are highlights for you. Thank you as well for sharing your perspective on engineering capacity. We recognize the strain that limited engineering resources can create, and we’re encouraged that a major project currently requiring significant support is nearing completion, which should help create more capacity soon. We also truly appreciate your candid feedback on prioritization and process, as well as your reminder to trust the people closest to the work and our customers. Let’s keep the dialogue going – you can always reach out to your People Business Partner for support in sharing insights and feedback. Thanks for being on the Siteimprove team!

Pros

What really stands out about this company is the culture. It’s a place where performance and collaboration go hand in hand , everyone is motivated to do their best, but there’s also a strong sense of teamwork and support. The product itself is excellent, not just because of its innovation but because the team behind it truly believes in what they’re building. There’s a shared pride in the work and a humility that keeps people focused on continuous improvement. It’s the kind of environment where you’re encouraged to grow, contribute, and feel part of something meaningful. Honestly, I’d describe it as a fantastic performance culture supported by great people and a product that genuinely makes an impact. The benefits are second to none with a large 401k match!

Cons

I wish I could of started working their sooner. The people I get to work with are top rate with a open level of communication.
