Pros & Cons
Glean
- World-class AI talent — learn from ex-Google leadership on cutting-edge enterprise search
- Transparent collaborative culture with strong career growth
- Below-market compensation — comp rated only 3.6/5
- Sales org has high churn and toxicity problems in EMEA and US
Supabase

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.
Supabase
Egoless, fully remote culture with just one meeting per week and extreme autonomy — but the relentless shipping pace means work-life balance takes a hit.
