Male-dominated industry, which can make it harder for underrepresented groups to feel included Heavy use of technical jargon, which may make communication challenging for non-technical team members Lack of diversity at the leadership level, leading to limited perspectives in decision-making Lack of transparency regarding promotion processes, making it difficult to understand career progression As a hypergrowth company, there are times when the rapid pace of change can feel overwhelming

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.
