Not enough risks taken.
Not enough risks taken.
The offices are good. Company events are ok.
Braze is an average company with low pay and enough middle managers to run a government.
Marketing moves faster than the product. I've seen talented people leave because they're sick of the political circus or answering to managers who don't understand the work they're supposed to evaluate.
Their AI initiatives over the past year haven't inspired much confidence. Generating images for slide decks is not the ceiling, managers. Plug in a few LLM agents into the platform is not innovation. Managers just don't seem to get it, you just need to know when is time to take a step aside.
Can they still land clients? Sure. Inertia buys time. Would I bet on them surviving the next AI wave with this management? Absolutely not.
Get used to being humble.
