Pros

For all of the things that matter most in a career such as compensation, growth and development and culture these are absolutely not pros here. However, you will make some awesome friends venting about your frustration with how awful it is to work there (in my opinion) and how every decision management makes is the wrong decision.

Cons

Literally everything. I honestly wish I had never worked at Tipalti. I feel that it detracted my skills as a sales professional. Not only did I take a financial hit on my W-2 that I am still recovering from, I gained nothing as a professional and felt I was fighting with my sanity as to why I was there daily. I know what you are probably thinking to yourself, "Oh hey this is just a disgruntled sales rep, it will be different for me". I have had a very successful career in sales prior to Tipalti, and I am experiencing a rewarding and successful one after Tipalti. You simply do not forget how to sell overnight, or forget how to put in effort. While I was there I heard "you must have lied on your resume" and "you're not really fitting in here" or "you are being negative". Apparently, calling out issues privately, that a vast majority of the reps are experiencing and coming to the table with viable solutions as to fix those problems, is being negative....

Pros

Good people. My direct manager was excellent and very supportive. Free lunch when in office. Health benefits are okay.

Cons

There have been numerous layoffs, and overall it feels incredibly unstable. The product has a lot of issues, which makes the onboarding role much harder than it needs to be. When deadlines are missed, leadership tends to blame the onboarding team, even when you’re doing everything you’re supposed to and the challenges are outside your control. It doesn't help that the Product has a lot of issues, and leadership will push on us to sell on more product features, that will make implementation even longer and the features are not ready to be used by customers. Sales regularly overpromises to customers, then avoids accountability when those expectations can’t realistically be met. Most process changes seem to benefit Sales while making onboarding even more difficult. Pay is below industry standard, and as a result, many of the strong employees don’t stick around for long. While my coworkers are great, it seemed like everyone was miserable. Always complaining about customers, leadership, turnover, layoffs, low pay, and questionable policies. It's not a healthy work environment, and leadership needs to introduce changes immediately if they want to attract and retain talent. Performance is heavily data-driven, which isn’t inherently a bad thing. However, evaluations tend to focus too narrowly on metrics like average implementation time, without fully considering the many factors outside an employee’s control that impact results. As a result, overall performance and contributions don’t always feel fairly assessed.
