Stack Overflow is crashing and burning in real time. No one is overperforming. Barely anyone near quota. They have cut multiple roles. The company is 1/3 of the size it was a couple years ago. The platform is declining in relevance and leadership are asleep at the wheel.

Great people and excellent benefits, however, the product development and strategy is poorly executed. Too many pivots and not enough forward momentum. There have been many changes to the sales organization over the last 10-12 weeks, but the jury is out on the new leaders. Time will tell.

Great company to work with good product market fit New AI tool is not doing well at all / bought out by Prosus which lead to mass layoffs. Great Overall experience during my time there, but employees were let go for reasons that were never explained.

It was a great place to work and then shifted dramatically GTM leadership. The market shifted with GenAI and SO didn't move fast enough on the product side. The compensation plan was aggressive but only a small % of reps were hitting quota (or even close to plan).

There have been changes to the leadership over the past several months. The product was playing catch up once chatgpt and gen AI started to come out. They tried to incorporate more into the product, but the development was pretty slow. It was not a need to have product, and really a nice to have. Difficult to drive solid adoption unless there were really strong...Read More

The company is churning customers, Teams product has low adoption in enterprises. The AI product that took a year to develop has not received a positive response in the market.

High comp plan, most hit or exceeded quota. Has been a lot of turnover recently in upper management.

Chat GPT crushed this opportunity. I started right when ChatGPT was released on teams were looking to automate more than share coding information amongst a team

My overall experience was not positive. The product market fit is tough especially with AI and sales leadership did not foster a good environment. Too many internal meetings.

Generative AI tools have decreased Stack Overflow's monthly site visits with zero AI built into the product. While it's "on the roadmap", it's table stakes compared to the competition.

It was a difficult environment to hit your number. Product is perceived in the market as a 'nice to have'

My overall experience was positive, if OverflowAI is done right the company will succeed. If they don't get GenAI correct Stack will struggle to stay competitive with other AI solutions. Traditional Q&A may not exist.

A large shift in revenue and closed deals and renewals since April 2023. Prior to that, growth and quota attainment was expected and realized.

Believe the best days are behind it. A combination of a nice-to-have product and AI code completion tools makes it a lot harder to sell. Recent layoffs have unfortunately come as a result of this. Attainment was very low with many finishing on 0 as well.

Product market fit is lacking, company is scambling to improve their application with AI features and more automation. Feels like they were caught off guard by ChatGPT. Sales leadership is weak and nobody except a few reps with large anchor deals in Strategic segment would hit quota. Enterprise rep never hit 100% the entire time I was there. Recent round of layoffs...Read More

Direct leadership was good on the SDR team. SLT not so much. Product Market Fit is awful and don't see it getting any better with the new solutions out there. Was a great experience altogether, the ship just sank.

Love the entrepreneurial focus at Stack. I feel that I have all the tools, training, and resources to succeed in my role. Stack is a flat organization, which I really appreciate, and getting access to our SLT to support our efforts is excellent. It’s definitely not a place to hide as we are focused on metrics and processes to determine where help is needed and...Read More
