Growing Business. Great People. Cool Tech. - Account Executive Schema App Employee Review

Fully remote setup with good flexibility. I genuinely learned a lot and grew technically during my time here. Most colleagues are kind, collaborative, and easy to work with. The company can be supportive on day-to-day matters and offers opportunities to take ownership of work.

Very high turnover and unexpected layoffs. One of the biggest red flags for me was seeing people who had won “excellence” awards or received public recognition being let go shortly afterward (sometimes within 1–3 months). This wasn’t a one-off incident and created a constant sense of instability. Performance doesn’t seem to protect you. I consistently received “meets expectations” and often “exceeds expectations” in my quarterly reviews, yet I was still let go with no prior warning, coaching, or constructive feedback indicating my job might be at risk. That disconnect made the process feel unfair and arbitrary. Poor communication around decisions. There was no clear explanation of why certain people were let go, and no transparent criteria shared. It often felt like decisions were made behind closed doors. Team dynamics and politics. While most people are nice, interactions with the product team could be difficult. There was a tendency to shift blame onto engineering when things went wrong, and there were noticeable internal politics that made collaboration harder than it needed to be.

Everyone at the company collaborates together. You truly feel part of the family at Schema App. There is a sense that if you are hesitant about something or unsure, you could go to anyone and they would be happy to assist you. Even though a lot of people work remotely, we still feel connected because of a concerted effort to have that close-knit culture. Leadership and management are always thoughtful and willing to help and want the team to succeed, as well as feel they have the tools to succeed. They genuinely want to foster your growth.
