Tessian Reviews

Pros

Tessian is a great place to work if you care about having impact. The data science and engineering team have built a truly incredible (and novel) product that prevents data breaches for our customers using advanced machine learning models. We're industry leaders in protecting the human layer, a problem that is affecting every business as they try and navigate through today's threat landscape. Another thing which is quite unique about Tessian is the strong relationship between commercial and engineering teams. We're all aligned to common goals and values which makes the challenges of hyper-growth manageable.

Cons

The rate of change won't suit everyone, but Tessian is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe so change should be expected (and embraced)

Pros

Some very inspiring people to work with... Particular shout outs to the Head of Sales Development - fosters a great, warm and inclusive culture within his team and is a wonderful teacher of core sales skills and methodologies. CFO - a kind and super sharp woman who fosters a great culture across the entire company, an inspiring leader to work with. Global Head of Sales Enablement - a fun, clever, talented guy, a total pleasure to work with. ^ 3 particularly excellent members of an overall fantastic team; I hope to cross paths with these again (amongst many others). I'd also like to add - best in class sales enablement tools; key to the SDR role! And generally a company culture of support, care and kindness.

Cons

Covid global pandemic did lead to redundancies.

Pros

- Good engineering culture with smart and motivated coworkers - Bi-annual salary/promotion reviews - Very little politics

Cons

- Product is a bit niche and the company is struggling to make the product entreprise-ready - Apparent hiring biases, particularly on the UK commercial site

Pros

Busy, exciting, fast paced, like-minded individuals.

Cons

Lack of processes, sometimes rushed decisions.

Pros

Everyone in the company wants to do their best for Tessian's vision and for other employees. No or little office politics within the tech team. Founders are transparent about where the company is going, and spends time getting to know new employees joining the company. Friendly, vibrant company culture, and you get to work with smart motivated people.

Cons

Not much promotion structure within the tech team. Depending on your line manager, you might have little mentorship on where you're going in the company. Most kudos for engineers are related to working late, which indirectly promotes an overtime equals achievement mindset.

Pros

Amazing team, most motivated and talented people I've met, great culture, very fast-paced and engaging

Cons

Fast-paced, constantly changing processes, if this is not your thing
