Pros

Stock benefits are ok if it's rising

Cons

CEO talks a good vision but doesn't really know what goes on at the sharp end. As others have said it's a cult, not a culture. Teams are not empowered. Multi-hour, 70+ attendee meetings with several sycophants discussing product minutiae is demoralising. Middle management forced to mistreat their teams. EVPs who say one thing to their direct reports and yet are silent/unsupportive in open meetings when their reports are challenged on the very things they were directed/forced to do.

At Coupa, our focus is to empower our employees’ success through our inverted org chart structure. With this, managers support their teams rather than manage down. We’re sorry that your experience at Coupa was not a reflection of our values and we wish you all the best in the future. Even though you are no longer with us, I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further. Please reach out to me directly.
