Coupa Software Inc Reviews

Pros

Opportunity to make a real difference in truly delivering real business value to our customers, certainly not just yet another software vendor who provides a solution to an unidentified problem. The culture is great and there's an entrepreneurial spirit running through everything we do to ensure customers are truly successful in their spend management.

Cons

Work life balance is a challenge that takes real effort to get right given the pace of the company

Advice to Management

Just keep on pushing ahead.

Pros

Clarity of Purpose Slick Solution Great Culture Helpful People Senior Management Support Flat Reporting Structure Comprehensive Training and Support Great Rewards

Cons

Nothing significant. Home-based working can be a challenge for keeping in touch with people, but this was understood before I joined.

Advice to Management

Please, please do everything to preserve the culture and keep the flexibility and adaptability. This is a challenge as you continue to grow at such a fast pace

Pros

I find the management to be very good. There are great benefits with a well stocked fridge and a nice place to eat lunch. It's flexible and the people are great.

Cons

Being in the UK with head office in San Mateo means some meetings are at inconvenient times

Advice to Management

You cannot communicate too much

Pros

Tremendous culture. Best in market product. Flexible working.

Cons

More pipeline and market presence required

Young company with great potential for growth

Cons

High growth equates to lack of career progression currently

Advice to Management

Don't forget about your employees because they have built this company

Pros

small agile organisation and industry leading platform

Cons

normal growing pains of any newly IPO'd company

Advice to Management

Keep the focus on the culture

Pros

- Strong focus on teamwork - Coupa culture is at the top of everyone's agenda - feels like you are part of a close knit team - Everyone strives to keep ensure our customers are successful and can save $$$s - Exciting cloud platform that allows us to approach IT is new and ground breaking ways - People are respected and can thrive

Cons

- Can be hard work work to deadlines and pushing customers forward - US company that is growing into Europe has some pain, but the US is listening and turning things around - Remote working can be a challenge

Advice to Management

Culture isn't just "Coupa Culture" - US Management needs to understand local and country specific cultures need to be considered. US, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, British, German, etc - we are all different and approach issues differently and do not like to be told to do things the US way!

Pros

Tremendous work experience. Rapid growth and pure innovation exposues you to exciting and visible changes on a regular basis. While the work will often push you out of your comfort zone (which I regard as a positive), you really feel that you are leading in defining and extending the boundaries of a market. It feels purposeful.

Cons

You need to be able to work independently and you need to be a great communicator. This job is not for everyone, particularly those that want to hang back and 'coast' in a comfortable role without being stretched.

Advice to Management

Don't take your eye off the ball and get caught up in what the competition is doing - keep taking the high road and lead by example.
