Lattice
Performance reviews, OKRs and engagement surveys for growing companies
Lattice is a hR & recruiting tool for Small businesses and Enterprise, offered as paid ($4/mo). Founded in United States in 2015.
About Lattice
Lattice is a people management platform from Lattice, Inc., a San Francisco company founded in 2015 by Jack Altman and Eric Koslow and backed by Y Combinator, Thrive Capital, Founders Fund, Tiger Global and Dragoneer. It is led by CEO Sarah Franklin and says more than 5,000 organizations use it. Its core job is running the manager-employee rhythm: performance reviews, goals, 1:1s, feedback and engagement surveys in one place.
The product is sold as modules. Performance covers review cycles, calibration, promotions, succession and PIPs. Goals & OKRs handles cascading goals with Jira and Salesforce updates. Engagement runs pulse, onboarding and exit surveys with AI analysis and eNPS. Compensation and Grow are add-ons for pay bands and career tracks. Every base product includes 1:1s, weekly updates, feedback, Q&A boards, analytics and an AI agent that answers policy and career questions.
Lattice fits companies of roughly 50 to 2,000 employees that already have an HRIS and want a more polished talent layer on top. It is not an HRIS or payroll system: BambooHR, Personio and Factorial store employee records and include their own performance modules, which may be enough for smaller teams. Culture Amp and 15Five are its closest direct rivals.
Buying tip: pricing is per seat per month but billed annually in USD with a $4,000 minimum agreement, so a 30-person company pays the minimum even on Performance alone. Lattice also drew criticism in July 2024 for a plan to add AI "digital workers" to org charts, which it reversed within days.
