Pros
Not the same company it was five years ago (#1 best place to work in ATL, unbeatable culture, etc), but still a strong company with good fundamentals. - Decent culture - Good product - Great US benefits - Decent career advancement for individual contributors - Great name recognition that will bolster interviews at other SaaS/tech companies
Cons
- Good executive leadership, but middle and frontline management could be much stronger and more consistent. - OTEs are ~80% of market, but benefits are very good
Pros
Some of the smartest and most helpful people I've ever worked with are still there.
Cons
Encouraging attrition of US-based employees through reductions of perks and benefits, cutting bonuses, and layoffs. A heavy focus on metrics makes you feel under a microscope all the time. Inexperienced managers stagnate career growth.
Pros
Good environment , good benefits, top technology
Cons
To many layoffs every year
Pros
Great culture, great people, great benefits
Cons
VC has taken over and heavily influences day to day operations
Pros
unlimited PTO insurance is okay remote
Cons
benefits and perks have dwindled and keep getting cut annual big layoffs and quarterly silent layoffs compensation is NOT competitive... most ICs are overworked and underpaid poor management no career growth product has so many issues but yet the product teams are too focused on rolling out features nobody wants the culture has completely diminished so many people that made the company a great place to work, are jumping ship
Pros
The people are great. Good benefits still. Strong product.
Cons
LOTS of turnover and changes in leadership in the past 18 months

Pros
The people: I had the pleasure of working with some incredible, smart people during my time at Salesloft, many of which are now friends. Flexibility: Depending on the department you're in, your schedule is quite flexible and you have full ownership over it so long as you're performing.
Cons
Product: Tons of bugs and critical customer requests that are not prioritized to make the product what it could be. No formal process for product feedback/roadmapping/ customer feedback gathering to make informed, effective product changes for the 20% of time typically allotted to work on high volume/ ARR customer requests. Lots of bells and whistles being built that most customers don't care about. Leadership: Lots of silos, lots of newbies at the exec level resulting in a ton of interdepartmental communication & process breakdowns and general inefficiency Pay: Pay is below market in just about every department and growth opportunities are super limited, benefits are no longer very competitive when comparing to other tech companies.
Pros
I'm fortunate to have spent five years here and got to experience the in-office culture that the company still tries to use to attract new talent. I'm grateful to the people who referred me, interviewed me, and hired me. I consider anything before Jan 2023 to be Salesloft and anything after to be considered Vista as the company I left is not the same place I applied to. - The people. If Salesloft was good at anything, it was hiring amazing people (for the most part). People I would consider long-term friends. Every time there was a layoff or someone left, the company lost a little more light. Coffee with a Loftee was a great way to make connections outside of your dept. - Historically, some managers would assist their team to pursue other ventures within the company and allow access to funds for PDP. This is no longer the case. - The past holiday parties (except the 2023 pizza party, more below) and retreat were incredible. The past gifts were very generous and I still continue to use them. - Benefits were great. Some slowly disappeared later. - my department mostly had good leadership.
Cons
First, maybe remove "6 weeks @ 6 years" as it has become very clear the new, Vista ELT doesn't want to pay out these bonuses and 6 weeks PTO. How has it become clear? Anyone close to sabbatical is put under a microscope, and they look for any reason to let you go, even after you agreed to the conditions. You have paid for your whole sabbatical upfront (which they require you to do), they will find something. All the original ELT is gone. They aren't looking to backfill key C-suite or VP roles. But the new ELT won't hesitate to bring in their buddies from past companies to fill in these roles they pushed tenured lofters out of. Transparency is gone. The "acquisition" of Drift was a fun LinkedIn moment, as they are both owned by Vista. People would ask important questions in Zoom chat only for them to be ignored so the ELT can speak on what food they enjoyed in Mexico. DEI doesn't seem to be as important as they say it does. They lay off lots of key members of these groups and the remaining people are left scrambling to rebuild. The culture is non-existent. If you are applying here for the culture, I'd recommend reconsidering. Pay is below market value even in cities/states that are normally quite low. Constant offshoring. I have nothing bad to say about my colleagues outside the USA but it has become very apparent they aren't keen on hiring within American borders anymore. Doom and gloom emails from new CEO. Morale is 6 feet under but Vista ELT doesn't see it. ELT does not care about the US team anymore. In 2023, Mexico and London both had full holiday parties where Vista C-suite executives would attend. The US team? If you were in Atlanta, you got a pizza party and no visit from the Vista C-suite. I wish I was joking about the pizza party. If you lived outside Atlanta, you got nothing. Managers will turn on a dime depending on the mood of the new ELT. You could have a great relationship one day and be in a hostile manager/employee one-on-one the next. Managers will say they will help you or have "great plans for you" only to trap you in a role with no personal development resources. Some people constantly bad-mouth past employees like it's high school or try to bring up former lofters and make newer employees feel left out. HR is basically useless. If there are inappropriate advances from managers to employees, HR and senior managers will sweep it under the rug.
