Pros

If you are someone who is okay with settling for less, or the bare minimum especially if you are based outside of the US and in a contract role then this company is for you.

Cons

1. Overworked underpaid - They demand that you be productive while handling multiple channels like Chat, Email, and Phone (Equivalent of up to 3 people workload for just one person) at a time but they can only afford to pay you equivalent to a one persons work 2. Toxic Management and Over-Micromanaging - The Manager will demand you to acknowledge announcements, demand that you have to do this and that, and be very responsive on DM's, but when you ask for help on escalated cases they are hiding and very unresponsive on DM's. Management always brags during meetings that we are a family but the gaslighting and toxicity are a nightmare. What they tell employees are the absolute opposite of how they treat them especially to contractors outside of the US. 3. No work-life balance - If you are a contractor outside of the US, you are only entitled to get paid PTOs which already includes sick leave (10 Days) after 1 year of service 4. Pure bias and discrimination against contractors (Outside of the US especially for entry-level roles like onboarding specialist and tier 1 support agents) - The manager based in the US dared to ask for me to have a backup internet connection but could not offer us the USD 80 monthly remote allowance, while employees based in the US, JP, and IN enjoys the said monthly allowance. 4. Not competitive salary - Dialpad only offered me 33% less than my previous salary which is very low and rubbish, gut-wrenching (And HR says it's non-negotiable), plus the workload is an absolute nightmare.

Pros

Good benefits and the pay is decent

Cons

I joined this company with optimism — it had startup energy and I expected the culture to mature over time. Years later, it has only gotten worse. Leadership’s singular focus is AI, and not in a way that feels collaborative or forward-thinking for employees. The message from the top is clear: adopt AI to do your job faster so they don’t need to hire more people, or leave. Employees are literally being asked to take courses that train AI to perform their own roles. That’s not innovation — that’s a replacement strategy with extra steps. The culture modeled by leadership doesn’t reflect a healthy work environment. There’s an expectation that working around the clock and a party-hard lifestyle is the norm. For anyone with a life outside of work — family, health, boundaries — this place is not designed with you in mind. What’s most frustrating is that this doesn’t feel like ignorance. Leadership appears fully aware of the impact their decisions have on employees and simply doesn’t care. The attitude is dismissive at best. Turnover has been significant — by some estimates, nearly half the company has walked out the door. Not because of the market, but because of the people at the top. Some truly talented, dedicated individuals have been lost because of this culture. That should speak volumes to anyone considering a role here.

Thank you for sharing such candid feedback. We can tell you joined Dialpad with real enthusiasm, and we take it seriously when that experience doesn't match expectations. Your concerns around work-life balance, leadership culture, and how AI is being integrated into the employee experience are noted. We believe innovation should empower our teams, not replace the people behind it, and feedback like yours helps us ensure that remains true. Supporting the well-being and growth of every Dialer is a priority we're committed to getting right. We're grateful for your honesty. People matter, and are central to who we are at Dialpad.
