Pros

- Really nice coworkers - Good market fit and variety of clients

Cons

- Becoming an increasingly soulless corporate company. - Forcing RTO for the sake of RTO. Remote flexibility is changing to mandatory 3 days in office when we don't even have space for meetings. Probably because leadership is looking to sell the company, and they want in office presence to look good for logistics. Otherwise why waste company money and everyone's time with commutes when we can't even take meetings in tiny spaces. Poor employee and client experience. - Burnout to the maximum. There's no rhyme or reason to rush client launches or internal product development other than to appease leadership. Wasting resources by having a company wide hackathon because AI is trendy. - Zero culture other than playing politics to talk about "wins". Otherwise it's all about justifying how we're removing holidays (last week of December) because we need to appease customers, or how some inane process is going to be implemented to review OKR, KPI, OPSP, or whatever acronym leadership is obsessed with.

DealMaker Response
5mo
Note: Over the past 10 days, we’ve received a much higher-than-usual volume of Glassdoor reviews. We’ve flagged this activity with Glassdoor for review. Regardless, we take all feedback seriously and will continue to respond thoughtfully and transparently. Thank you for sharing your perspective. As DealMaker scales, the pace of work and level of structure have increased, and those changes don’t land the same way for everyone. Our return-to-office approach is a deliberate investment in collaboration, mentorship, and skill development, and sits on the lower end of in-person expectations for technology companies at our size and stage. We’ve also invested in improving the physical environment to better support focused work, collaboration, and client engagement. Customer focus and AI-driven capabilities are foundational to our strategy. We recognize that when initiatives overlap without clear sequencing, teams can feel stretched, and we continue to refine prioritization and execution to ensure teams can operate with focus and sustainability. DealMaker is intentionally evolving into a more structured, high-accountability operating environment. That evolution isn’t for everyone, but it’s essential to long-term growth, client outcomes, and employee development. We actively gather feedback through multiple channels and encourage team members to share input with leaders, the People team, or through our ongoing anonymous feedback channel as part of that continuous effort.

Pros

Exceptional people with growth mindsets. Visionary CEO and leadership. Challenging Environment Opportunities to learn and grow. My direct manager is super supportive and leads with empathy. You will never be bored here.

Cons

This environment is amazing but it's not for everyone. We are a very ambitious company and we have large goals. We are a fast growth company and that comes with all the fun and challenges of growth. If you are looking for just a job this place isn't for you. Week one and two (and three) can feel like drinking from a firehose. But if you lean in I promise you will adjust.

Pros

There are some great individuals here who are hardworking and genuinely care about what they do. Team members often try to support each other, especially when things get hectic. The company attracts people who are motivated and willing to put in the effort.

Cons

The biggest issue is the lack of consistency. Priorities change frequently, and it can feel like you’re constantly adjusting without a clear sense of direction. What’s important one week can quickly become irrelevant the next, which makes it hard to stay focused or feel productive. There’s also a disconnect between leadership decisions and how they play out day to day. Plans are set at a high level, but the execution often falls on teams that don’t have the clarity or resources needed to succeed. This creates unnecessary stress and inefficiencies. Communication isn’t always transparent, and employees are often left trying to piece things together on their own. Feedback is shared, but it rarely results in visible improvements, which can be discouraging over time. The pace is demanding, and without strong structure or recognition, it leads to burnout. When you factor in concerns around compensation and workload balance, it becomes difficult to see this as a sustainable long-term role.
