      Pros

      - 100% remote - Very decent salaries - Flexible work

      Cons

      Typeform is a has-been. Used to be a great company to work for, but got ruined along the way. How did it start? After Kim Lechá took over as CEO, it was the beginning of the downfall of Typeform: 1) They hired a few incompetent C-levels/VPs, who got scared of being found out as incompetent, so they fired everyone around them who could potentially expose them, and surrounded themselves by sycophants. 2) This by itself created a culture where people were afraid of speaking their mind, so we went from an open culture to a culture of fear. Which means, less collaboration, less open feedback, problems keep growing until they are out of control... etc. 3) The CEO and LT are not to be trusted. After saying for months that everything was OK, they started a dismissal process for "economic" reasons, even though the company is making money. Then one week after announcing the dismissal, the LT team went on an offsite together, flights and hotel paid by the company. Go figure.

      We appreciate your feedback regarding Typeform's journey and leadership. While we understand your concerns, we are committed to addressing any challenges that have arisen along the way. We recognize the impact of leadership decisions and the importance of fostering a culture of open communication. As an example of this, the leadership team avails themselves to answer any employee questions on a monthly basis at All-Hands meetings, which is in addition to the team-specific meetings each LT member hosts on their own. We encourage employees to freely share their thoughts and concerns at those forums, in addition to our “open door” policy where employees should and do feel empowered to reach out to anyone on Slack with questions, feedback, and concerns. Regarding the Fall 2022 dismissals, decisions are made based on various factors, including economic considerations as well as strategic direction. We assure you that we always act in the best interest of the company and its employees and strive to communicate these considerations transparently. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

      Pros

      The people. Somehow Typeform is full of some of the most genuinely passionate and intelligent people I’ve ever worked with. This is a shame, because that is just about all I can say that remains positive in 2026 about Typeform.

      Cons

      Typeform product leadership is completely out of touch and in the dark about what they should be doing to survive as a company. They’ve recently made the choice to completely divest from anything that isn’t an AI-centric product, gutting the product team of anyone not working solely on AI products. While investing in AI is definitely not a bad thing, investing ONLY in AI certainly is. Typeform is still playing competitive catch-up with essentially every competitor out there and cannot commit to a concrete strategy if their life depended on it. Leadership will get excited about an initiative and green light it only to get upset that it isn’t fully implemented in a month before deprioritizing it again. There is a backlog of years old customer requests for basic features that leadership refuses to prioritize as evidence of this flip flop approach to their strategy. When competitors that are <3 years old are able to come in and handily provide better products that are more feature rich you have to stop and wonder what you’re even doing. If TF wants to survive the next 5 years they need a serious course correction and a leadership switch up. Having a CPO that decided to be a CTO too, while having zero engineering background is certainly a choice, and one that the company is already paying for. Lastly, TF has also been stealthily gutting Product and Engineering under the guise of “performance”. If you are thinking of joining R&D do it at your own risk. There are far more stable companies with better leaders out there and I cannot recommend TF to anyone anymore. This is saddening since this was not the case until last year.
