Pretty great place to work overall, but little job security. Layoffs happen seemingly at random - Senior Software Engineer DataGrail Employee Review

Pros

Pretty great place to work, very competent, SMART employees

Cons

Have had several rounds of layoffs, even after stating we had plenty of runway. One employee was laid off about a month before her seemingly generous maternity leave started.. this rubbed me the wrong way being that they promote family oriented employees.

Pros

Product org is full of strong leaders and PMs. Solid product and brand. Hire smart people - have cycled through hiring waves from great companies like Drift, ZoomInfo, MongoDB, HubSpot. Similarly, those departures have gone on to work for impressive brands (Anthropic, Intuit, Vanta, Decagon, Ashby, OpenAI, Kickstarter, etc.).

Cons

Thrash, whiplash, pivot, repeat. GTM side of the business is at the mercy of mercurial executive decision-making. Constantly setting unrealistic goals and making big swing experiments to try and hit them. Hired and laid off 2 or 3 entire BDR programs. CEO is high energy, personable, likeable, and hard worker. But unfortunately thinks of himself as smarter and a better seller than any other representative of company (bc it's his baby). Dismissive of any challenge to his big idea/conviction of the week. There were 3 layoffs of 10+ and several random individual layoffs in my ~1.5 yr there. CEO would casually say things like "well he won't be here next month, lets be honest" or "as soon as we find a replacement she'll be gone".
