Mission: We help small businesses succeed.
The decision to keep going, keep serving, and keep growing is at the heart of what our customers do everyday to succeed. And what we do to support them.
Infusionsoft announced today it has rebranded the company as Keap, a name that represents the very essence of the grit and passion small businesses put in each day to keep going, keep serving and keep growing. With the rebrand, comes the launch of a new product, also named Keap, the industry’s first smart client management software built specifically for small businesses in the home, personal and professional service industries. For 17 years Infusionsoft has led the market as the pioneer of CRM and marketing automation software for small businesses. The Keap product launch and company rebrand is a signal the company is expanding to serve a new market.
“We’ll continue to lead the CRM and marketing automation industry with exciting updates coming this year with what we are now calling Infusionsoft by Keap,” says Keap COO Keith Reed. “With the introduction of our new Keap product, we are able to serve an even larger market of small service providers who have been shut out of the benefits of automation because software providers have made it too hard and expensive.”

Pros
Lots of autonomy! Pay for performance organization so if you crush it, the company will take care of you! Product org is great to work in, lots of problems to solve for customers and the room to do it!
Cons
If you don’t like ambiguity or doing customer research you may struggle. We’re intentional, but we move fast and some folks have had a hard time with that.
Advice to Management

Application
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Keap (Chandler, AZ).
Interview
It seems like Keap is still trying to figure out their interviewing process - they've changed it several times over the past couple of years. In the current iteration I had the following steps:
1:1 phone screen with the recruiter:
This was a relatively pleasant phase and the recruiter seemed enthusiastic and friendly. The questions asked were typically what you would expect: why are you interested in Keap, give a little background about yourself, etc.
Online technical assessment:
This phase of the interview involves 2 live, online, coding sessions with Keap senior engineers. Each session is 45 minutes long. The sessions starts out with 5 minutes of brief introductions of yourself and the Keap engineer. After that you are given an algorithm/data structure type question. These are relatively easy i.e. sorting, use of hashmaps for lookups, etc. The interviewers were friendly - I had no real issues with this portion of the interview process either.
On-site interview:
This is where Keap's interviewing process fell apart in my eyes. Frankly, it seems like they haphazardly glued together interviewing techniques you frequently hear about at FAANG companies, but Keap grossly lacks the execution of the latter. The onsite is 4-5ish hours of 4 separate interviews, split up into approximately 1 hour each. The interviews are split into an algorithms section, a system design section, an app-building section, and finally an HR section with dev managers. What blew me away during the onsite was how rude and disinterested every interviewer seemed. I was also told at the beginning of the day that I would be interviewing with different people than initially planned (unknown reasons). Needless to say, the interviewers seemed extremely unprepared to be interviewing. Their laptops were open (it appeared they were doing their own work), and communicating with them seemed like a chore. During the app building section, the Keap engineer couldn't even get the project running on their own machine which left me with half the alotted time to complete the tasks. The dev managers seemed very condescending and made sure it was clear that they had better things to be doing with their time than speaking with me. The list of things like this went on hour after hour...it was honestly (in my opinion) an embarrassing display of an onsite interview. I left that day in shock that Keap doesn't have higher standards for their onsite interviews.
My advice to people thinking about applying to Keap:
Be critical and cognizant of the way the Keap engineers/managers treat you. Don't be blinded by the "reputation" Keap has because that's not even the case anymore. The Infusionsoft of 4 years ago is no more. There's a reason why most of their talented engineers left earlier this year - maybe ask them why.
My advice to Keap:
1. Refine your interviewing process to the role you are trying to fill. A system designs interview to discuss consistent hashing of servers doesn't seem appropriate for a front end engineering role does it?
2. It might be wise to be selective about who will represent your company during the onsite interview. The vibe I got was it's a miserable place to work based off their attitudes. That may not be what it's actually like to work there, but they certainly made it appear so.
3. Have your interviewers be prepared to interview candidates. It is unacceptable to ask someone to interview for 5 hours straight and not be prepared for that.
In hindsight - I have to say I am glad that they didn't decide to move forward with me, I'm much happier working at a company that values candidates/employees. Keap appeared disorganized and lost. A new CTO scrambling to put together teams too quickly to build software that has received poor review from its users/customers (as evidenced by a multitude of comments left on their product demos/videos as well as some quick googling).
As a final note, I'll add that communication after the interview process is complete should still be important (EVEN if the candidate doesn't get the job). Getting constructive feedback is how people hone their skills and improve. Don't ghost people! It's rude, unprofessional, and perpetuates a toxic hiring community in the valley. Yeah - Keap did that too.
