Diagrid Reviews

Diagrid presents itself as a promising startup, but the reality is far from it. The high turnover rates, unrealistic expectations, and lack of transparency make it a challenging environment. Prospective employees should be aware of these issues before considering a position at Diagrid. Feedback is often subjective, leading to uncertainty about how to improve and progress within the company. Product feedback is predominantly driven by project managers without sufficient input from developers. There is a significant lack of communication and transparency between various teams including executive leadership, sales and marketing, engineering, and developer relations. This has lead to misaligned objectives and confusion. Most concerning, the company consistently hires for high-churn positions, indicating underlying issues beyond mine with job satisfaction and employee retention. The virtual team happy hours and working retreat trips are often used as a superficial solution to deeper organizational problems.

• When you think of a true revenue-generation, customer acquisition sales job, there are better places to look than here. Especially if you have a good track record of success. • The pay in my opinion was a bit below average given the experience required & how early stage the company is. • Being told to use company approved messaging only. • Spending more time interfacing with “management” (management, not leadership - parroting a mid-sized company’s playbook to me) than prospective clients, for the sake of “visibility” (I was also told that this was necessary because sending a link to CRM notes & contact info isn’t enough). • It was explicitly outlined to me to limit my interactions to a defined set of accounts, individuals, and working hours in one specific time zone (just a name a few sales restrictions) which needless to say, will absolutely ruin sales anywhere, much less at such an early stage startup. • For reference, I have done a sales role in another early-stage company and gotten over 10x the revenue and customer acquisition having been there for maybe a quarter of the time, than was ever possible in the same role at Diagrid; because at its core the job I had here, in my view, was not sales. It was more or less just finding contact information to send canned messaging to already-identified individuals, reporting back to someone in management about if each person did or didn’t respond, definitely checking off boxes more than creating a path forward.
