Some senior figures seem more focused on hiring friends and ex-colleagues than on fostering a diverse, merit-based team. This creates a toxic culture where employees outside the inner circle are blatantly overlooked and treated unfairly. Favoritism is obvious, with some people getting special treatment or opportunities simply because they’re in with the right crowd. It’s demotivating, and it’s clear that this kind of bias is eroding trust in the leadership and damaging the overall company culture. Culturally, the company is fractured. There’s a serious lack of accountability and transparency. Toxic behavior from certain managers goes unchecked—some bordering on bullying—which has created a toxic atmosphere in pockets of the business. Leadership under the CEO/CTO/ CRO is making questionable decisions that are actively sending the company in the wrong direction. On the product side, there are critical issues that are either being ignored or deprioritized. Meanwhile, a large portion of closed deals seem to be the result of investor handshakes or favors from connections in the ecosystem—not necessarily product merit. Customers are noticing this too, with signs of churn already becoming evident.

There’s a lot to like about working here. Strong products, good people, and real potential. But it wouldn’t be honest not to mention some of the issues I’ve seen firsthand. For certain roles, unless you’re Israeli, Jewish, or have strong ties to Israel, it can be tough to get in or to stick around. I’ve seen qualified candidates passed over in favor of others who fit that background, often because they speak fluent Hebrew or have a cultural connection. It’s not necessarily malicious, it seems more like leadership choosing to build a team they’re comfortable with but it does raise some questions, especially given U.S. labor laws. On the compensation side, it’s hit or miss. Some folks make great money, even in non commission roles. But I am part of a group that did a little digging and let’s just say, there’s a wide pay gap that doesn’t always track with experience or performance. A lot of us were/ are underpaid by tens of thousands, laughable if it isn't so frustrating.
