Pros
There are smart and hard working people at Braze.It is fast paced and has interesting challenges
Cons
Leadership. For all of Braze and more specifically VP’s on the People team. Toxic culture. Poor and ineffective leadership by inexperienced and insecure types. Worse is the silence. Everyone knows who the problem leaders are but does nothing to change it. Engagement surveys and constant feedback put a spotlight on the specific VP but nothing changes. Most people stay in the culture of fear and micromanagement because the market is bad. We witness and whisper over the trend of mistreating the strong leaders and performers. The best way to survive is to stay quiet and fall in line with a certain way of working. Paranoia is rewarded
