Do not join this company unless you’re desperate for a job. Don’t trust the positive reviews. Talk to former employees for the ugly truth. They deploy the same tactic every year to re-hire a new batch. CEO is a rich-kid founder already financially set, with a borderline sociopathic personality. Leadership is home-grown due to the incapacity to attract talent: think obsequious, unprofessional and unskilled on top of being sleazy (e.g. US VP of sales skipped a customer call to watch a soccer game - not just one time). Product doesn’t have market fit despite cheaper than Twilio. New product is 2-3 years away from prime-time.  3rd iteration of the hire-fire cycle, 50-80% of the team will be fired within 6-12 months. I didn’t believe this when I read it last year… I was wrong. Also they removed all sales tools for home grown one that don't work. Leads are allocated to favorites. Stay away. Your career and mental health will thank you.

I looked at several tech companies and MessageBird stood out for its culture, growth mindset, and ability to foster collaboration in a get things done environment. MessageBird recruits the best talent and is eager to play a part in your success and the company from the start.

A scale up with tremendous future potential... While 2024 got off to a rocky start, the team has since turned things around and is now on an impressive winning streak.
