As good as it gets - Sales Leadership lemlist Employee Review

Working at lemlist is a game-changer if you're someone who thrives with ownership. It's not your typical top-down, micromanaged environment—here, you're trusted to lead your own projects, take initiative, and truly own your scope. It’s part of the company’s DNA, and you can feel it every day. One of the biggest perks? You're surrounded by smart, driven people who genuinely love what they do. That kind of energy is contagious and makes learning part of the daily routine. You grow fast—because you’re empowered to test, fail, and try again. The culture values hard work & commitment and in exchange, its gives flexibility. It’s remote-first and remote-friendly, and the founders lead by example when it comes to work-life balance. Into fitness? It’s super common for people to block out time between 12–2pm to go for a workout or a run. Have kids? There’s a lot of empathy around parenting too—several teammates are in that phase of life and feel fully supported. The company is doing well financially, which means there’s room to experiment and invest in cool ideas (eg. our ops team launching a mini product experiment). And there are plenty of perks: company bonuses, a flat in Paris for remote folks visiting, a house in Avignon for team offsites, and a beautiful yearly retreat somewhere sunny 🌞

Lemlist is not for you if you’re looking for a super-structured environment with a manager always telling you what to do. The culture really encourages self-leadership—so you’ll be expected to learn quickly, suggest solutions, and adapt fast. That level of autonomy isn’t for everyone, but if it is your thing, you’ll probably love it here.

None - I regret not reading the reviews on here first, just look how many 1 stars they have and they’re all accurate.

Truly an awful place in every way, shape and form. The product itself is terrible, and management, specifically North America, is one of the most clueless individuals I’ve come across. They claim they’re all about transparency, but that could not be further from the truth. Next thing you know everyone on your team is fired for no reason whatsoever with no feedback on why. They claim you’ll have ownership - again, very false. If you’re exceeding quota and taking ownership over everything you’ll still be fired. Management feels threatened if you challenge them and try to make things more efficient when things aren’t working. Management relies on AI for anything and everything. You are presented with a script to read word for word in calls. Management would come to call reviews unprepared, mention improvements and information I should’ve gotten only to remind her I did all of that. She relied on AI notes and based her assumptions on that. Lazy and not fit for the role. We are selling an outbound tool saying we can get other sales team more meetings, etc when we ourselves aren’t able to generate any outbound meetings. Should tell you everything you need to know. Many cases of management unjustly firing employees a week before probation period is up so they can do so legally without cause; not to mention right before the holidays with no prior warnings on things to improve on and even when the reps are doing exactly what they’re suppose to be doing. One of the worst decisions of my life was joining this place.
