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

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

Made friends & grew my network, snacks. The usual startup stuff.

Cons

Sales "leadership" is a total cancer. Not all of them, but anyone who works here knows exactly who. They are underqualified, micromanage, and play extreme favoritism while lying to everyone's face about how transparent they are. They love to paint the picture about having great collaborative culture where feedback is welcomed, but the truth is the total opposite of that. In fact, nothing at this company is really transparent and nobody respects this leadership. Have seen many good sales people leave on their own soon after starting because they were smart enough to see the writing on the wall. Not everyone has been so lucky. I would only take a sales job here if you're ok with being treated like 5 year old.
