Absolute Chaos

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Remote work provides some flexibility

Cons

- Shifting job descriptions, metrics, and expectations almost monthly leaves individuals confused about how they are measured and what success looks like; these chaotic changes prevent individuals from getting any stability or traction in their role - Hire and fire culture: there are quarterly/monthly reviews, but there are no coaching plans or PIPs given to employees to address development feedback before they are fired - there are not enough resources in supporting teams, so correcting data issues, systems issues, or tooling issues takes far too long and slows down teams - not a single promotion in sales in 2022 - Rudimentary tech stack that holds teams back from carrying out fairly basic expectations - leadership sets the expectation that a sales rep can reach their quota through a combination of inbound marketing leads, BDR passes, and outbound hunting... but there is no BDR team and marketing leads convert well below industry standards, so sales reps struggle (especially without any enablement provided) - Some unrealistic remote working expectations (like mandatory "camera-on" policies at 7pm that might conflict with reasonable working hours, especially for folks with kids/other priorities) - personal information is also stored in the CRM, so employees can see/watch confidential conversations (like external interviews or salary negotiations) - there is no HR department, so teams had no one to raise concerns to after witnessing racist/sexist remarks from executive leadership - oh.... and watch your paychecks.... employees regularly don't get paid on time or in full amounts

Hypocrisy and lies

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The individual contributors were intelligent, hardworking people who were doing the best they could with the disaster they inherited.

Cons

Their content marketing is great, but I cannot stress to you how dramatically it doesn't reflect what it's actually like to work here. I spoke with a colleague after we'd both left the company, and he said "you know, it's kind of surreal looking back on it. Like, everything they say and all the articles they put out... it's like they're intentionally writing the opposite of how the company runs." The core problems are that the CEO and COO operate without integrity and respect for others. Anyone. Employees and customers alike. - surprise firings with zero warning, even for high performers who get along well with others. Leadership will smile and joke with you one day, telling you how much of an asset you are to the company, and then fire you the next. Yes, it can/will happen to you too. - company isn't getting good reviews on G2, Capterra, etc? Don't fix the product or processes, instead push fake, copy/paste reviews to drown out the legitimate voices. (The same is true of these Glassdoor reviews) - ^same with employee satisfaction reviews. The only reason why they made the "Best Place to Work" list is that they shoved it down people's throats, told everyone how to answer, and said they'd send out a "real" survey internally later to see how people "actually feel" - the product can't match Customer's requirements and there's no way it ever will? Sell it to 'em anyway. They're locked in for a year contract, what are they gonna do? - customers are churning at an "I'm not even mad, that's amazing" rate? Blame the CSMs and take away their bonuses (nevermind that we sold them something that wasn't fit for their purposes in the first place, and we haven't fixed a bug in 6 months) tl;dr: Look up TechCrunch's definition of a zombie company (2015). Look up how many executive hires Cascade has lost. Consider the fact that it's been a _long_ time since they hit sales targets, and, last I heard, were 8-figures behind what they'd promised to investors. Take the other negative reviews to heart, because they're true and do not exaggerate the breadth or depth of the issues. Consider how much you value acting with integrity and receiving respect.

Great BDR Team

Anonymous employee

Pros

- Great BDR leadership - Understanding of learning curve - great collaboration with other BDRs - Friendly competition

Cons

- There are a lot of quick pivots that might slow you down in your daily work, and leave you confused for a couple of days until you get back up to speed. If a fast paced environment with lots of changes isn’t your favorite this might not be for you! But if you maintain a positive outlook and look for leadership’s help you’ll thrive!
