commercetools Software Developer reviews

We understand why the last several months have felt frustrating, and we appreciate you being direct about your experience. We want to clarify one point in your review. Revenue is not declining year over year. While we’ve made deliberate changes to how we focus the business and where we invest, we remain financially stable and are on track against several key financial targets this year. That said, we recognize that restructuring, benefit changes, and leadership shifts can still create uncertainty, regardless of the underlying business performance. We also acknowledge that changes in leadership bring different leadership styles, and those shifts can affect culture, trust, and how direction is perceived. When clarity around priorities or product strategy isn’t landing, that’s feedback we take seriously. Strengthening communication, alignment, and transparency is an ongoing focus. The strength of our teams is something we value deeply, and feedback like this helps us understand where we need to do better. Thank you again for taking the time to share your perspective.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and for recognizing some of the things we’re most proud of — our people, culture, and flexible working environment! We’re glad those aspects stood out during your time here. We’d like to offer some clarity on a few of the points you raised. Our Compensation & Benefits team benchmarks salaries against companies of our size within the broader tech industry to stay aligned with market standards. We also review pay bands annually to identify and address any gaps and most importantly, we share the results of those reviews in our company-wide All Hands so everyone understands how we measure ourselves and how compensation decisions are made. We also aim to celebrate success across every part of the business. Our annual President’s Club is a common tradition in tech companies that recognizes the significant achievements of our sales team especially given their variable, commission-based compensation structure. That recognition is not a reflection of greater value, but of a different model of reward. In parallel, we regularly use those same All Hands meetings and other channels to spotlight the work and impact of teams across engineering, product, design, people, and more. Regarding our return-to-office initiative, we introduced a hybrid model with 3 in-office days per week based on team needs and employee feedback around scaling connection at a global company. That said, flexibility remains an important part of our culture. If someone has caregiving responsibilities, appointments, or other personal needs, we continue to support individual arrangements just as we always have. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and for the time you spent as a commercetooler!
