Best Places to Work: 2016 (#34)
OutboundEngine helps small business owners market themselves by doing the work for them. We create original content for our clients, automate their email campaigns, update their social media profiles, and ultimately help them grow their businesses and drive long-term value for their customers.
Founded in the Lone Star State in 2010 under the name Promo Labs, we began our path to success by creating email campaigns for promotional product distributors. In 2012, we expanded our platform to include social media marketing and are now servicing real estate, insurance, mortgage and other small business professionals.
The marketing services we provide to our customers combine industry best practices from content marketing, email marketing, and social media marketing. We turn great business people into incredible relationship people by cultivating their audiences until they’re ready to do business.
Our Core Values
Leave No Doubt: No entitlement. If you want something, make it obvious you deserve it.
Solutions, Not Problems: Good or bad, speak up if you have a better way.
You Built This: Individual accomplishments are great, but there's no better feeling than being part of something special you built with others.
Be Resilient: We all face challenges. It’s how we handle them that determines our success.
Own It: Our success relies on you hitting your number regardless of your role, so know your goal and be accountable.
Life #InsideOutbound
If you're looking for a company that "works hard and plays harder," ending the work day around a keg in the office break room, we're not the start-up for you. When the clock hits 5 p.m., our sales reps press dial and keep going, our marketing department is still crafting campaign content and analyzing test data, and our support team is still on the phone making sure our customers are getting the best experience possible.
We believe in setting goals and surpassing them, listening to our customer feedback and continually improving our product, empowering employees to share ideas and suggestions, and utilizing an open floor plan to allow communication between departments.
Be sure to check out #InsideOutbound on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for a look into life at OutboundEngine.
The Team
OutboundEngine’s culture is the cornerstone of its success. The team is dynamic and motivated, bringing a fresh burst of energy to the office each and every day.
There’s no such thing as your “typical” Enginite. Rather, the office is rich in diversity, packed full of talented individuals from all walks of life, every corner of the United States, and in all stages of their careers. Everyone is open and accepting of the unique traits that make each Enginite who they are. No matter your story, it’s hard not to feel like you belong.
It’s not surprising to us that we’ve been named one of Austin’s “Best Places to Work” three years in a row. When you care about the people you work with and align toward a common goal, success is always within reach.
Our Perks
The OutboundEngine sales team is the heartbeat of the company, working with potential clients around the clock to give life to the great products we produce. Our sales representatives have dedication, determination and a hunger for self-improvement. They walk in every day knowing that there is no room to give anything but their best.
We believe in developing our team members every way we can – both professionally and personally. You would be hard-pressed to find a team that invests as much time in ongoing sales training. Every level of sales leadership works directly with our team members on a daily basis to help them achieve their goals and improve as salespeople.
End result: Our sales team is full of highly motivated, ambitious, competitive people who are eager to succeed and learn. Be part of one of the fastest growing start-up companies in Austin. Better yet, help directly fuel that growth while building your sales career.
Listen to what our Senior VP of Sales has to say about what it takes to make the cut, how we plan, train and develop a successful sales team!
A company is nothing without a positive reputation, and how you’re perceived by the public is highly dependent on what your customers are saying about you. That’ s why great service is so important.
Our Customer Success team is dedicated to keeping a smile on our clients’ faces, working with them at every stage of their relationship with OutboundEngine. They are the front line of communication with customers, answering questions, quelling concerns, and going above and beyond to make sure we’re providing the best service possible.
While Customer Success is committed to working hard and staying focused, they also genuinely enjoy each other's company and strive to create a positive team environment. They work closely together to find the best solutions for our customers, they maintain open communication with other OutboundEngine departments, and every month they put together a fun team event, such as laser tag, murder mystery parties, and other activities.
Do you like working with people? Do you understand the importance of customer service? Are you looking for a collaborative environment with talented, intelligent individuals like yourself? OutboundEngine’s Customer Success team might be the place for you.

They assist our sales team by targeting potential leads with information about OE, advertising on different channels, and making our products as professional as possible.

Our Engineers keep the OutboundEngine train rolling, building and improving the systems that make what we do possible. It’s with their skills and expertise that we are able to offer new products, create enhanced user experiences, and capitalize on the vast amounts of data we acquire.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OutboundEngine (Austin, TX) in April 2018.
Interview
The interview process was very structured. First, you do a phone screening with a recruiter and if you make it to the next step, there is a simple homework assignment. Secondly, you have a follow up mock call with the CSR team lead. After that, you have an in-person 3 round interview.
