Pros

Tallwave does a tremendous job of making an environment where its employees know they can grow and make mistakes (provided we learn from them!). There are a myriad of *extra* things that Tallwave provides its employees so that our work is enrichening and full of meaning. Examples include the Diversity, Equality & Inclusion task force , Lunch & Learns, access to trainings and access to leadership for mentorship opportunities / talks. During these "unprecedented times", Tallwave has been doing all that they can to support its employees, including those who are juggling not just work but also virtual schooling for their children. They are one of the most supportive and caring companies I've had the pleasure to work for.

Cons

We've got that start up energy, drive, and hunger and the outcome is we are doing some amazing things. However, things may feel disjointed or like you are constantly "drinking from the fire hose." This may be frustrating for some folks and invigorating to others. The latter group, I suspect, has figured how to lean in to the "uncomfortable unknown," or ambiguity, and bring their own sense of accountability and follow through .

Pros

As a team member, I feel encouraged to step outside of my comfort zone and take calculated risks. The company's emphasis on lifelong learning and development is invaluable. I appreciate the opportunities to expand my skill set and contribute to diverse projects. One aspect I particularly enjoy is the strong sense of camaraderie and support, despite being a fully remote employee. The team feels like a close-knit community where everyone is valued and heard. I appreciate the company's commitment to work-life balance and its focus on employee well-being.

Cons

While the small team size allows for a high degree of autonomy and ownership, it also means wearing multiple hats at times. This can be challenging but also rewarding as it provides opportunities for diverse skill development.

Pros

Talented people who try hard despite the environment. Remote flexibility.

Cons

Tallwave’s culture has effectively collapsed. Despite heavy emphasis on being “values-driven,” leadership behavior is inconsistent, exclusionary, and damaging. Favoritism is openly practiced, with the CEO investing time and attention in chosen employees while disregarding others. Communication is performative rather than honest. Long-tenured employees have steadily exited, leaving burnout and significant loss of institutional knowledge. Having since worked under strong leadership, it’s clear how much effective management matters. Its absence in recent years at Tallwave significantly contributed to the company’s cultural decline. The company’s approach, or lack thereof, to employee separations reflects broader gaps in professionalism, process, and leadership accountability.
