Pros

A lot of us good hearted people here who just want a safe job

Cons

When someone cannot offer competence, they will often use shallow virtuosity to influence you. I've seen that happen in religious cults, now I've seen it used to build a company. You feel like drowning in honey. It will feel weirdly sticky. But who does not like to feel important and considered. But once I joined it did not take long to see through the facade. The "People" leaders did a number on us too. Talking about how they've figured out that 4-day work weeks have made the teams more productive. How the company is run profitably and sustainably to ensure there are no layoffs. All lies. There was never a single measurement of productivity ever. Just a lazy tactic to attract gullible job applicants and media. Oh, and we are taking millions in debt and burning investor money. Virtue signaling for the win, who cares about truth. It was interesting to see a train of "leaders" being paraded through a revolving door – they were the "best thing since sliced bread" as they came in and "badly cultured terrible people" as they went out. We lost some really good leaders on the GTM teams who were delivering results but started challenging the incompetence – somehow the "people" team decided to tell us that they were really bad for the company. Product team is just used to taking orders from sales. Push features to satisfy the sales gods, no real customer awareness here. Let's just be code and pixel monkeys. Well, the investors seem to have finally caught up. They have brought some accountability to this gravy train with a shakeup. Maybe too little too late, They've brought in a CEO who is an operations guy. He is hollowing out the company with layoffs in the hope of salvaging whatever is possible for the investors. While a bunch of simple people watch this soap opera, we realize that it is not just time, but our careers that is being wasted.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Procurify. It’s important to note upfront that a professional workplace should never be considered a "gravy train." Our mission as an organization is to bring value to our customers, investors, and team members. We are each accountable to one another in pursuing that mission, and that requires hard work, making tough decisions that serve the business and communicating effectively to resolve any issues. As a current employee with deep concerns, I strongly encourage you to bring them directly to the CEO or our People team. Constructive feedback and open dialogue are key to meaningful change, and we want every team member to be, and want to be, part of the new era for Procurify. While we understand that the last few months have brought a lot of change, it was much needed change and we stand by our commitment to building a sustainable, mission-driven organization. We acknowledge that tough decisions have been made, and while they may not always be popular, we have consistently communicated the reasoning behind them, welcomed open dialogue, and made these choices with the long-term health of the company in mind. We take all feedback seriously and we will continue to work toward a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.

Pros

I’ve been with Procurify for three years, and the evolution I’ve witnessed has been incredible. We’ve matured from a scrappy team into a sophisticated organization, yet we’ve managed to keep our soul intact. For me, the standout has been the culture of psychological safety. It is a space where I’ve been able to take big risks, evolve in my career, and feel truly backed by those around me. The cross-collaboration here is the real deal—it doesn’t matter what department you’re in, it feels like we are all one team pulling in the same direction. It’s also rare to find a senior leadership team that is this genuine. They don’t just talk about caring; they follow through with consistent action. It’s been an exciting journey, and the people truly make the experience.

Cons

The "scale-up" life isn't for everyone. Because we are maturing and evolving so quickly, you really need to be someone who is agile and flexible. If you prefer a highly predictable, static environment where nothing changes, you might find the pace challenging. To thrive here, you have to be comfortable with the "build" phase and enjoy the energy of a company that is constantly leveling up.
