Pros

You’ll make some memories. (Not great ones, but memories never the less)

Cons

As can be seen on other honest reviews, Tipalti has a toxic culture that uses fear as a motivator. The management is a joke that has now resorted to promoting some of the worst sales reps to managers. I kid you not, individuals who one could call “sales challenged” are now the leaders of this fine establishment. The leaders can’t seem to hang on to their top sales talent as reps worth anything jump ship. Instead of looking inward at the problem they dismiss it or blame others. Don’t get me started on compensation. You want to be disappointed? Take a look at your first commission statement at Tipalti. They will promise you will crush it and make money, but I promise you will get less than half of your commissions. To make the situation even worse, only about 5-10% of reps hit quota. Seriously, ask around and don’t believe management when they tell you “Tipalti is full of hitters” because it’s really not. You must think that the culture is great, wrong. It’s terrible. My mental health was at an all time low working here and I know numerous people in sales felt the same. People narc on each other, you get in trouble for speaking your mind, and they are not forthcoming with the actual truth. This place makes Lord of the Flies seem like Sandles beach resort, it makes drinking Jim Jones’ kool aide tasty. Avoid this place for your own mental health.

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.
