A dramatic full from grace - Software Engineer Matillion Employee Review

I'm 15 years into my career having worked for hundreds of companies (consulting). Matillion's culture is ranked top 3 and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one outside of some fancy Silicon Valley startup that works remotely from Bermuda and grows their own wheat grass. Also, in my top three ever is Matillion's leadership. Matillion's executive team is strong from an IQ and EQ perspective. The vision is great and they've adapted beautifully to market. They've also hit their growth targets which is in line with other top SaaS companies. Read the values on the website. If they resonate with you then join Matillion. When I joined almost two years ago, the CEO approval rating was the highest I've ever seen (95%) and the ratings were 4.5. This has been diminished purely because of layoffs but the 95% and 4.5 are still here, I promise you.

Like every company in the last 18 months, Matillion has gone through some growing pains but this is mostly because of having to ruthlessly adjust to the recession we are in. And, juxtaposed against Matillion's large funding rounds in 2021, this, of course, resulted in layoffs. Rapid hiring (3X'ing the size) + followed by a recession = layoffs, and what follows is a new culture that had to adapt. Some employees didn't like that and that's what you read on this page recently in the reviews.

None management people are super kind and friendly Good health insurance

Lack of direction Mismanagement while somehow also over managing Ever changing KPIs and high churn What was once a leading product has been overtaken by its highest competitor Hostile and demeaning leadership Expected to learn product and process while actively selling and managing accounts during onboarding Heavy internal politics that come off as very high school clique No one (including the Sales Engineers) knows everything about the product so there’s pressure to push unviable solutions unknowingly RTO for local employees is crushing moral
