Pros

None at the moment - there used to be loads but now it's a complete shambles

Cons

This is not the company I joined 4 years ago – the culture has shifted dramatically under new leadership, especially after the CEO was replaced last year A recent internal promotion to manager resulted in burnout within weeks, making it clear that workload and expectations are unsustainable The CXM team in Northern Europe is in constant upheaval, with very poor communication from management People are simply disappearing (burnout, sick leave, exits) and there’s no transparency about what’s really going on. Leadership insists "there is a plan", but with no clarity or visible support, most people are understandably looking elsewhere

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to share this very candid and difficult feedback. We want you to know that we’ve read your comments, and we deeply appreciate you sharing them. As a four-year veteran of our team, your perspective is particularly important. You have raised some insights regarding the instability within the CXM team and the impact of burnout. We know that the recent changes have created some uncertainty. Please know that we are not taking your feedback lightly. It reinforces our commitment to making the difficult but necessary changes needed to build a more resilient and sustainable company, and we know that starts with better communication for our people. Feel free to reach out to your People Partner, VP or C-team member to share your insights directly.

Hi there, Thank you for your review and for your time as a Senior PM in our London office. We’re glad you found the team friendly! we truly believe that "meaning well" is the first step toward doing great work together. We also appreciate your sharp perspective on our AI focus. In the current tech landscape, it’s easy for "AI" to become a buzzword, but we’re committed to ensuring our roadmap delivers tangible value rather than just following a trend. Our AI features are super fresh in the PIM space and we are loving the direction we are going in; solving the real, everyday challenges our customers face. We’re constantly refining our direction to make sure our innovations, AI or otherwise, are truly impactful. We wish you the very best of luck in your next product journey!

Pros

Lots of work flexibility, no hard office mandate Offices are nice

Cons

Salaries are consistently below industry averages Very basic benefits Most company travel has been scaled back to the point of 0 The culture in the business has shifted a lot in past 6 to 12 months with many old guard people leaving - not what it used to be Significant changes in senior leadership GTM function is poorly led, with stagnant historical senior leaders and average middle managers New CEO currently leading the GTM team seems to be struggling to implement change needed

Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to write this, especially as a long-standing member of our team. We're glad to hear that you value the flexibility and the effort we put into creating a great workplace environment. For clarity, we have instituted travel budgets by VP level, indeed to keep an eye on spend. Travel is our third highest cost after salaries and real estate, and is definitely not scaled back to zero. Please check notion, slack and your VP or C-team member if you are unsure of this. We are indeed in a period of significant change within Akeneo, and this means an evolution in our culture and leadership. We understand that this transition can be challenging. These changes are intentional and necessary as we prepare for our next chapter of growth, and we are committed to building a stronger, more scalable business. Regarding your comments on compensation and benefits, we are actively reviewing our packages to ensure they are competitive and reflect the value of our team's contributions. Your insights are incredibly helpful, and they reinforce the importance of open communication during times of transition. Thank you again for your dedication and for helping us become a better company.
