Pros

TripleLift offers great flexibility with fully remote work. The work-life balance is manageable, and most managers respect personal boundaries. Engineers get to work with a solid and modern tech stack, which keeps the work technically stimulating. The company has a startup-like pace but operates with enterprise-level stability. This mix can be exciting if you like fast change.

Cons

Despite having L&D benefits, the day-to-day workload is often overwhelming, leaving little time for actual skill development or course completion. The organization structure keeps changing. Cross-team communication is minimal and usually only happens when tasks are assigned. OKRs are not meaningfully discussed or cascaded. Performance reviews are limited to filling out a CultureAmp form, with no clarity on promotions, appraisals, or peer feedback. The ELT is frequently shuffled, and leadership decisions - like removing the much-loved monthly Mental Health Day (MHD) - have significantly hurt morale. There's also a visible gap in how US and India teams are treated in terms of perks and recognition. Emails often come in vague language, and policies are changed without thoughtful explanation or context, leading to confusion and frustration.

Pros

Teams typically use modern backend and cloud technologies, which can help engineers build strong system design and scalability skills. The company has supported flexible work arrangements in many roles, depending on team and location.

Cons

While compensation is generally competitive, total compensation may not match the highest-paying large tech firms, especially at senior levels.

Pros

The company offers a front-row seat to observe how leadership decisions directly shape (and often undermine) culture, which can be an educational experience for those early in their careers. There are also opportunities to develop resilience and adaptability in a fast-changing and, at times, unpredictable environment. Colleagues are generally supportive, likely as a result of navigating shared challenges.

Cons

The new executive leadership team (CFO, CEO, COO, and Chief People Officer) set a tone that is, quite frankly, the most troubling I’ve ever encountered in my career. There was a consistent lack of professionalism and empathy in how employees were treated, particularly during terminations. I personally witnessed senior leaders treat these moments with an unsettling level of casualness that made it difficult to trust leadership’s judgment or values. Equally concerning was the culture reinforced by some of the Chief People Officer’s direct reports, who mirrored the same dismissive and, at times, callous approach to people management. The past year exposed patterns of behavior that I found genuinely unsettling and, at times, difficult to reconcile with any reasonable standard of leadership. It ultimately became a case study in how quickly culture can deteriorate when accountability, professionalism, and basic respect are absent.
