Pros

Typeform is remote - personally I enjoy remote work, because it gives me freedom. Employees generally enjoy a lot of freedom and autonomy as to when to work. Compensation is fairly good, although not on par with other remote companies. If you prefer freedom and chilled workdays over salary, its great. Lots of really nice and smart people working here Morale seems to be up a bit since a third of the workforce was laid off in january.

Cons

There is no respect for of trust in the CEO. It is a massive problem that most of the company lacks trust in him and that he seems to cling on just for his own personal gain, rather than do whats best for the company (which would be to step down). He is currently on his fourth leadership team in like 4 years - this shows he is clearly incapable of hiring the right people. The same problem exists with the chief people officer - a very cold, uncharismatic person who - ironically - doesnt seem to have any interest in people. Additionally, Typeform creates its own career framework which, when I interview with other companies, doesnt translate and they dont know how to place me Communication is very very bad. There's a very condescending feel to everything going out, and much of the comms is based on lies and deceit. For instance, during the layoffs they kept promising transparency and that they wanted to do the best for employees - this we found out was a lie. They also lied about the business doing great and that no layoffs would happen a month before they announced layoffs. Same for Diversity and inclusion. They've talked about it and made empty promises for over 2 years, but nothing has changed. They even fired the person leading D&I as part of the layoffs, LOL Many people are looking to leave - Typeform fired 30% some months ago, and we lose more, we'll start to be in trouble

Pros

The people. Somehow Typeform is full of some of the most genuinely passionate and intelligent people I’ve ever worked with. This is a shame, because that is just about all I can say that remains positive in 2026 about Typeform.

Cons

Typeform product leadership is completely out of touch and in the dark about what they should be doing to survive as a company. They’ve recently made the choice to completely divest from anything that isn’t an AI-centric product, gutting the product team of anyone not working solely on AI products. While investing in AI is definitely not a bad thing, investing ONLY in AI certainly is. Typeform is still playing competitive catch-up with essentially every competitor out there and cannot commit to a concrete strategy if their life depended on it. Leadership will get excited about an initiative and green light it only to get upset that it isn’t fully implemented in a month before deprioritizing it again. There is a backlog of years old customer requests for basic features that leadership refuses to prioritize as evidence of this flip flop approach to their strategy. When competitors that are <3 years old are able to come in and handily provide better products that are more feature rich you have to stop and wonder what you’re even doing. If TF wants to survive the next 5 years they need a serious course correction and a leadership switch up. Having a CPO that decided to be a CTO too, while having zero engineering background is certainly a choice, and one that the company is already paying for. Lastly, TF has also been stealthily gutting Product and Engineering under the guise of “performance”. If you are thinking of joining R&D do it at your own risk. There are far more stable companies with better leaders out there and I cannot recommend TF to anyone anymore. This is saddening since this was not the case until last year.
