Braze reviews

* Salary’s pretty mid for the level of politics and process you deal with. * They bought an AI company. There seems to be no urgency, motivation is low. People managing AI initiatives don’t really seem to have the technical background to plan or execute any of it properly. Frustrating to see. * Company culture is very ego-driven. Tons of hierarchy, status games, and people protecting their turf. Leadership acts extremely confident while smaller startups are shipping faster and slowly eating their lunch. * Bureaucracy is brutal. Even relatively small launches can take forever. The amount of process around basic engineering work is honestly kind of insane, and leadership treats pretty normal deliverables like massive wins. * Overall it feels like a company stuck in its own bubble instead of adapting to where the industry’s actually going. If you enjoy navigating internal politics, you might love it here. If you actually care about AI, engineering, or building things fast, probably look elsewhere. * Work life balance.

Limited cons. Startup culture is fading, but execs keep culture as tight knit as possible.
