Pros

Great Engineers and a great product. A lot of your co-workers are wonderful and I really enjoyed my time with them. The pay is pretty good (though I wasn't a big fan of the insurance).

Cons

-Your job is hanging by a thread at any given moment. As they are a private equity backed firm, if there is even a single month where growth isn't better than last month, people are immediately on the chopping block. Even if things are going well, people are sometimes fired with little to no explanation. I watched them hire and then immediately fire someone 6 days later with absolutely no explanation whatsoever (I'm very intrigued to know how he didn't match the "high standards of performance and accountability" with only six days on the job). I was placed on a PIP and explicitly given 30 days to improve with defined metrics. I was meeting or exceeding those metrics...and then fired 7 days into my 30. -Because you don't get paid commission until after Keeper gets paid, it's entirely possible for you to work your butt off for a huge deal, close it, and then if they fire you (or you quit) before Keeper gets paid (which can easily take 2 months), you don't get a dime of commission. -Because of their CSM model and the way it works, it's also entirely possible for you to work a huge deal (let's say for thousands of users), but then the customer says "never mind, I'm just going to start with 10 licenses and expand from there", and all you get comped on is the 10 licenses. You do all the work and the CSM swoops in afterwards and gets a huge payday. -They can't seem to make up their mind on certain metrics. For example, prospecting was treated as "well you don't need to do it, because we provide you with lots of leads!", and we were continuously told that "you aren't judged by quota attainment". But then if you don't have enough leads come in and your quota attainment is low? You're gone.

Thank you for your feedback regarding our product and tech teams - they are truly amazing! Keeper provides our sales team with best-in-class marketing lead generation and our commission plans follow typical industry practices for payment eligibility. Despite good intent on both sides, sometimes there is simply not a mutual fit.

Pros

I’m loving the entrepreneurial environment !

Cons

Not much to complain about. If you’re not used to entrepreneurial, fluid environments, it will not be for you.

Pros

The team members were one of the best parts of working here. They were knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to help each other. Many of my coworkers genuinely cared about doing great work and creating a positive experience for customers.

Cons

Unfortunately, the work environment created by management was the complete opposite. There was a lack of professionalism, poor communication, and inconsistent leadership. Managers often created unnecessary stress rather than supporting employees, and concerns raised by staff were frequently ignored. I also witnessed and experienced behavior that felt intimidating and, at times, crossed the line into harassment. Instead of addressing these issues, management often dismissed them or failed to take appropriate action. This created a toxic culture where employees felt uncomfortable speaking up and morale suffered.

We’re glad to hear that you had a positive experience with your teammates and recognized the care, knowledge and support they bring to their work and to our customers. We are disappointed to read your characterization of our workplace and management culture. We take any concern involving professionalism, respect or workplace conduct seriously, but we also want to be clear that the description shared here does not reflect the standards we set for our leaders or the culture we work hard to maintain. Allegations of harassment are serious, and we do not believe public review platforms are the appropriate place to fully assess or resolve such claims. Our company has established channels for employees to report concerns, and we encourage those channels to be used so matters can be investigated fairly, confidentially and with appropriate care. We remain committed to a workplace built on accountability, professionalism, respect, and support. We will continue investing in leadership development, clear communication and employee resources.
