Pros

Seemingly fun collaborative culture, good health benefits, good pay

Cons

This is the worst burn and churn company I have ever worked for. Promises everything, delivers on nothing. Brought in new management before laying off 3/4 of the staff and had that new manager do the layoffs. Completely disgusting the way that process was handled. Fire your top performers and then fill it with two junior people to save money. The senior leadership team is so in love with themselves it inhibits any actual growth in the org. This is probably the worst company I have ever worked for.

Oof. That day in 2022 was a tough one. Letting go of talented people is never easy for anyone. I can confirm, it was one of the hardest days of my career. Like so many businesses during that time, broader uncertainty forced some tough conversations and even tougher decisions. Unfortunately, it's also disproportionately impacted people in the Talent and Recruiting space over the last 18 months or so. I want to thank you for your candid review and comments. It's offered me an opportunity for self-reflection and I'm grateful. Travis Baker VP, Talent Acquisition

Pros

Co-workers are genuinely smart and kind people. The product presents interesting challenges and the company has continued to grow fast. Benefits and pay are top tier.

Cons

Leadership has completely lost touch with reality, particularly when it comes to AI and what it can realistically achieve within sane timelines. There’s a constant push to “do more with AI” without any grounding in actual engineering effort, tradeoffs, or limitations. Deadlines are set arbitrarily and treated as if we’re delivering life-or-death systems, when in reality slipping a few weeks would have little to no real-world impact. Burnout is widespread across engineering. If you ask any IC how they’re doing, the answer is almost always the same: exhausted and overwhelmed. Instead of addressing this, management deflects responsibility and blames engineers for “not managing their time better,” which is both dismissive and inaccurate given the workload and expectations. There’s also a severe lack of trust. Product direction is bottlenecked by the CEO and VP-level leadership, who insist on approving nearly every feature. This creates unnecessary delays, undermines product managers and engineers, and signals a fundamental lack of confidence in the people hired to do the job. On top of that, a significant portion of the engineering team has been outsourced in the past couple of years. This has introduced major consistency and quality issues, along with a noticeable decline in ownership and long-term investment in the product.

Pros

- Remote - Benefits are pretty good

Cons

Almost too many to name. Boulevard is genuinely the worst company I have ever worked for and the SDR organization is one of the most dysfunctional sales environments I’ve experienced. Quotas are unattainable because territories are too small and heavily oversaturated. Reps are expected to hit aggressive meeting goals while working accounts that have already been contacted repeatedly. Management responds by doubling down on micromanagement, constant monitoring, and unrealistic activity requirements instead of addressing the underlying issue. The most alarming part of the job was the turnover. Every single week, without fail, someone on my team would leave. That level of attrition was impossible to ignore and made it clear that the problems were systemic, not individual. Turnover is common throughout the entire company as well. If you are considering joining the SDR team, be prepared for impossible expectations, excessive oversight, and very little control over your success.
