Pros

Formerly collaborative culture, interesting product space, talented people, good funding, good sales spin

Cons

As a startup, turbulence is to be expected, but Urbint's is pretty legendary. At least 3 full code base rewrites have happened as priorities changed and new leaders came in and did what was familiar to them. One team went through 4 managers in a year. There used to be a good culture of collaboration. These people were forced out or left as the work got less interesting, and were replaced by faceless mercenaries. Engineers are not treated like equal partners, everything is transactional. Cutthroat people are promoted, helpful people leave.

Urbint Response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s true that we had to make changes to the product as we found greater product-market fit and built in new capabilities to the software. I understand that that was a lot of work (and came with some turbulence), but what it means is we now have a solution that is leaps and bounds more advanced than anything our customers have ever seen, and that’s all thanks to the incredible work of our engineers and technical staff. As we’ve grown, we’ve been laser-focused on bringing in the best talent in the world, while also retaining the talented folks already here. While it doesn’t always work out for everyone, we couldn’t be prouder of the team that got us here. José Santos VP Engineering
