Pendo

The first 1-2 years can be enjoyable. Pendo has a good product and there are a good subset of people that are pleasant, smart and enjoyable to work with.

After ~1.5 years you start to discover what's really going on behind the scenes. There is too much favoritism and politics at play. The red tape is very real here like imaginary timelines for career growth. Managers tend to be ineffective and people who are difficult to work with or just not good at their jobs are kept afloat because they have friends in high places.

Genuine top performers are held back because it saves the business money.

Take a closer look at the management hierarchy and who is actually effective at their job. It may be worth paying attention to when the same people get the same feedback or criticism from multiple sources from different levels.

The engineering department is quite toxic when it comes to relationships and favoritism, especially Analytics.
