Bottom Line
Glean
Top-tier AI engineering talent and explosive growth, but comp lags peers and the sales org has churn problems — the engineering side is the real draw.
PostHog
Radically transparent open-source culture with 2-3 person autonomous teams, no deadlines, and a public handbook — ideal if you're self-motivated, tough if you need structure.
