Glean

Great product used daily by everyone in the company.

Company positioned well in work assistant and gen AI platform space with a deep technical moat.

Very strong revenue growth at real scale (4x year-over-year).

Smart, competent, fun, hardworking, helpful teammates.

Transparent culture: all employees can attend board meetings, and revenue and deals are public to everyone.

More mature than startups of similar size in terms of processes.

Strong leadership and executive team with good recent hires (e.g., former Chief Product Officer of Slack).

Harder to stand out when colleagues are all high performers.

Not a place to coast. Expectation is 40+ hours of real work per week.

Some risk in being in such a hot and fast-moving space.

Having an India eng team means sometimes having to take night or morning meetings, but usually, the India team accommodates.

Sometimes with new, very large customers or prospects, there are urgent fires to put out or product requests, but product and sales are getting better at pushing back as we grow.
