Investing in all the wrong areas - Account Executive Mixpanel Employee Review

Momentum is real—6 straight quarters of growth has given the company energy and focus. New CEO brings a fresh perspective and is already leaning into transparency, customer focus, and bold decision-making. Offsites and Mixcursions are genuinely inspiring—rare to see a company invest in bringing everyone together in ways that feel energizing, not just performative. A renewed set of values that leadership is actively encouraging people to live and celebrate. Smart, collaborative teammates who want to do their best work and help each other succeed. Free lunch for days you come into the office ($20 up to twice a week) - thanks for bringing back this nice perk!

Like any company in growth mode, there’s still work to do in connecting strategy to execution consistently across teams. Moving fast means priorities shift sometimes, which can feel challenging to navigate.

New CEO brings fresh, inspiring perspective and engages in a professional manner. Will see how this pans out in the next year but already All Hands are much more relevant and engaging. Culture and teams are top notch but some outliers have been hired lately that don’t quite fit in and are snarky or arrogant. Work flexibility is great and if you put in the work, you are judged off your merit rather than optics and rewarded which is rare. Really kind, open community with engaged employees who actually care about what we are working on

Some upper management needs a reality check around what is feasible with the current state of the company. As others have noted, direction changes constantly and no one wants to take ownership of the broken systems that need to be replaced or repaired in order to meet advantageous goals. Without this, we all get stuck in a rat race keeping the lights on rather than growing and expanding to the IPO everyone is hoping for. With great responsibility comes great opportunity for burnout - it’s easy to take on too much and lose control of your workload
