Pros

Super smart hard-working people who do not get rewarded for their contributions.

Cons

I remember being thrilled to join a young, innovative company with fantastic compensation, great colleagues, and a vibrant culture. Joke's on me, because that all fell apart after a few months. Vista may be pulling the strings, which is expected for a large VC that acquires tech companies, but TripleLift's management is too incompetent to handle the pressure, and it's the employees who are paying the price. Everything you've read is true: silent layoffs, manipulative performance review programs, “anonymous” surveys, constantly shifting quotas—even mid-quarter—rules that change daily without any clear processes, and a pervasive sense of unfairness. Hard work and high-quality output won’t get you anywhere; it’s all about how well you suck up to Mr. Lasso and his team. Salaries don’t increase over time—in fact, they’ll probably decrease, just like your mental health. People are leaving one by one—those who are lucky, by choice; the unlucky, by forced redundancy. Those still at the company are spending their free time job hunting. I hope management is actually reading these reviews and realizing the damage they’ve done. I left a while ago and still can’t believe how much the company has deteriorated over the years I was there. We’re constantly giving out recommendations and referrals to help current employees find a way out.

Pros

Teams typically use modern backend and cloud technologies, which can help engineers build strong system design and scalability skills. The company has supported flexible work arrangements in many roles, depending on team and location.

Cons

While compensation is generally competitive, total compensation may not match the highest-paying large tech firms, especially at senior levels.

Pros

The company offers a front-row seat to observe how leadership decisions directly shape (and often undermine) culture, which can be an educational experience for those early in their careers. There are also opportunities to develop resilience and adaptability in a fast-changing and, at times, unpredictable environment. Colleagues are generally supportive, likely as a result of navigating shared challenges.

Cons

The new executive leadership team (CFO, CEO, COO, and Chief People Officer) set a tone that is, quite frankly, the most troubling I’ve ever encountered in my career. There was a consistent lack of professionalism and empathy in how employees were treated, particularly during terminations. I personally witnessed senior leaders treat these moments with an unsettling level of casualness that made it difficult to trust leadership’s judgment or values. Equally concerning was the culture reinforced by some of the Chief People Officer’s direct reports, who mirrored the same dismissive and, at times, callous approach to people management. The past year exposed patterns of behavior that I found genuinely unsettling and, at times, difficult to reconcile with any reasonable standard of leadership. It ultimately became a case study in how quickly culture can deteriorate when accountability, professionalism, and basic respect are absent.
