Pros

- Full remote policy. - There are some smart people trying to do meaningful work.

Cons

- Leadership neither understands how to scale nor believes it's necessary. This mindset has become the biggest obstacle to any real progress. - Intense micromanagement with no consistency. Priorities change constantly, communication is messy, and expectations are unclear. It gets so disruptive that most work become guesswork and damage control. - Plus, the product itself suffers from tons of legacy decisions. In result, things move 10x slower than normal and even simple features turn into turn into exhausting projects. - For sure every org has an “inner circle” and it’s understandable. But some individuals abuse this status to make others’ job a lot harder. This situation has persisted despite being well-known internally. - Psychological safety is an issue. Feedback is officially welcomed, but it’s often met with defensiveness so there's point doing so. Also expect public mockery and childish/unprofessional behavior. - Layoffs have occurred more than once, and there are growing concerns about company’s financials.

Thank you for your frank feedback. You've raised many thoughtful points which our company takes to heart and deeply commits to improve. This year we've made organizational changes to become a leaner, more focused, and better-aligned company. We welcome applicants to speak openly with our team in job interviews, etc. about how we've evolved, the present experience of working at TableCheck, and where we’re headed in the future.

Pros

Allows both working from the office and fully remote options. Most team members are talented and friendly.

Cons

Unclear whether top management has a clear plan. Frequent layoffs, and each time management promises there will be no more. I feel there was discrimination against employees based on their location.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. In early 2025, TableCheck went through a reorg in which we combined our Engineering and Product divisions, and some roles were made redundant as a result. Though we worked hard to support everyone affected, we recognize that experiences like yours indicate we could have handled some situations better, and for that we'd like to offer a sincere apology. For applicants considering TableCheck, we welcome open conversations with our team about both the challenges of our past and the direction we’re headed in the future. We'd like to be clear we do not have “frequent layoffs,” and we hope you'll hear impressions of us as a company committed to transparency, stability, and growth. Lastly, we also take concerns around fairness and inclusion seriously, and the poster's suggestion of more anonymous feedback mechanisms for management is something we will reflect on as we continue to improve.

Pros

full-remote, flexible-hours*, Institutional knowledge*, kind people*, open communication*

Cons

flexible-hours -> explict no upward mobility without unpaid overtime institutional knowledge -> almost no learning opportunities as everything is on fire more than not on fire. kind people -> mismanagement, layoffs of capable people, and offering hush money to people who have been wronged. less good people. open communication -> they say you can be honest. say what you think and you will get made fun of, both to your face and behind your back, by management,

Firstly, we'd like to offer a heartfelt apology to the person who wrote this review. Your experience working with us is one we don't intend anyone to have at TableCheck! We'd like to clarify several misconceptions in the original post. If the poster is still a current employee, we're genuinely concerned they may be missing out on what the company has to offer, and hope they will reach out to their manager/dept head to discuss. > "Explicit no upward mobility without unpaid overtime" HR actively monitors to keep overtime at a minimum; as of August 2025, our average monthly overtime was 3.65 hours per employee. Employees earn promotions based on performance, merit, and working efficiently--we consider excessive overtime as a demerit for advancement. Whether overtime is paid/unpaid varies by role/department/location/seniority/contract type/etc. In summary, TableCheck is committed to following market standards while offering flexible, comfortable, and fair conditions to all employees. > "Almost no learning opportunities" In our Innovation Division where engineering and product staff work: 1. We hold two weekly all-hands training sessions ("Innovation School"), covering diverse topics from coding/architecture, AI, product management, teach-ins on each other's work, etc. 2. We hold annual training events such as "TableCheck Cafe" (simulated restaurant role-play) and Hackathons. 3. Employees can claim a monthly education monetary stipend they can spend however they wish. 4. Employees are allowed up to 20% of their time (1 day a week) for freely-chosen projects and/or study. (In fairness we need to do better in encouraging employees to take greater advantage of this one!) 5. We make each employee's desired learning/career growth a core consideration when setting goals and assigning workload. > "Everything is on fire more than not on fire" By the numbers, TableCheck has excellent platform stability: 99.999%+ uptime and very low churn among clients. Our uptime is public at https://tablecheck.statuspage.io/. We achieve this through a culture of blameless retrospectives and continual improvement when issues do occur. If there are genuinely "frequent fires" in the poster's area--or even a perception as such--we'd really would like to hear specifics and take prompt steps correct it! > "offering hush money to people who have been wronged" We have not paid "hush money" to anyone, nor do we sign speech-restrictive agreements. (One can simply look at some of the other Glassdoor posts as evidence of this fact--we are very comfortable with transparency!) As with any company, there are inevitably situations where both we and a staff member agree it’s best to part ways. In such cases, we may provide severance and support to ensure the transition is fair and respectful. These arrangements are never about "silencing" anyone—they’re about helping people move forward in their career with confidence, and showing gratitude for their contributions.
