eshots Reviews

Former Employee – worked at eshots

Pros – scheduling, travel, networking, really tests and improves your organizational skills

Cons – if you don't like to travel or to work some hard days, then this field is not for you.

Advice to Senior Management – leadership was very nice, but from what I experienced could use a bit more "managerial" training... I felt like I was being led by peers, not by trained managers. It felt like a very new company while I worked there, so things may have changed by now.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at eshots

Pros – Free soda and casual dress

Cons – As pointed out in some of the other reviews the company is fine to work for but watch out for management. They are the weakest link. Dancing to managerial demands is expected if you want to fit in. Many employees have quit to avoid dealing with this drama. People leading teams do not know ABCs of their fields or management 101 and we suffer. If you are used to having smart managers with proven industry experience be mentors and lead teams do not expect it here at any level. Pay is on the low end. Work is easy but stressful and cheaply done. Rushed work, unclear directions, many demands after tasks are done, process overload, wasteful
meetings filling days, not well thought out products handed from other departments and working with frustrated team members with overtime work is the norm with many projects. All other reviews are spot on too. Overall good for few months to fill resume space not more.

Former Employee – worked at eshots full-time

Pros – Some good people on the team.

Cons – Below average pay, long hours until the middle of the night at times and absolutely no work life balance. Early release of products before they are ready just to make a sale. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at eshots full-time for more than a year

Pros – 1. Fun people for after work hours (non-management)
2. Casual dress code

Cons – 1. Management is very weak. Make awful decisions which shows their lack of experience and is sinking the teams by the day.
2. Promotion is based on office politics. Measurements are flawed. Promotion policies published are not followed. Skill-less people get promoted.
3. Hiring process is weak. People with bad resumes get interview calls, people get hired without being tested.
4. Micro management is high. Every hour is tracked multiple ways.
5. Cannot work from home or take vacation without a fight.
6. Long hours for developers and some account staff but someday if you leave work early (before 5pm) management makes a noise.
7. High turn over rate.
8. No career growth. Job title changes without any change in daily work.
9. Secretly every dept keeps blaming the other. Problem is the poor leadership and decision making from middle and senior management which rolls down and makes everyone unhappy.
10. Salary is way below par.
11. No accountability for management.

Advice to Senior Management – Great potential for the company but management has screwed this place with their lack of experience which shows everyday in the awful decisions they make and the very high dissatisfaction among non-managerial employees. The entire top to middle management needs to be replaced. Just looking at the turn over rate should ring bells that something is wrong with the leadership.

Current Employee – been working at eshots

Pros – Some of the employees were fun to work with (non-management). Some people would be close and go out after work and socialize.

Cons – Awful leadership, each member of management will act like they care about the company and its employees; but behind closed doors they genuinely don't care. Constantly lied to about how much you were worth in the market. Well below-average salary, below average benefits. Very long hours for some departments. Claim innovation, but are in fact desperately lacking due to zero product leadership. Claim to be a tech company, yet doesn't know the difference from a web developer and a software developer.

Advice to Senior Management – Pay your employees what they deserve. Get REAL product leadership and vision. Hire people for their talent and skills, not their ability to 'fit in'.
