No longer a good place to work - Software Developer Allocadia Software Employee Review

Pros

A good work life balance.

Cons

A merger and acquisition led to a slow death to what was probably one of the best engineering cultures in Vancouver, and an exodus of half of the product and engineering team including the majority of senior talent and engineering and design management. Stagnant below-market salaries, no equity in the new company, and uninspiring product leadership all contributed to people leaving, but but biggest factor was that the work was no longer fulfilling. If you want a mediocre job but stable job, earning a below market salary, working on bad legacy software, then this might be the place for you.

Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that your experience and work with us was not fulfilling for you following the recent merger. Finding the right balance for a newly merged company is one of the most challenging aspects of any merger and takes some time to get right. As you know, we seek feedback on a regular cadence and have already begun implementing changes based on what we’ve learned. I’m happy to report that we’ve received positive feedback on these changes. We appreciate your candid feedback and continue to work on making the new company a place where people feel inspired and excited to do their best and most creative work. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. Mirko, CEO

Pros

If you've worked in SaaS (particularly MarTech) before you know that there are a ton of faulty products and vaporware out there. Allocadia is not that - the product is incredibly solid, solves a huge pain for marketers, and customers LOVE the product and the company. People here are absolutely decent human beings. Any time you're at a small and growing company there are challenges and pains, but to work with people who mean well and care about each other is important. The quality of customers at Allocadia are amazing brands like Microsoft, GE Digital, Charles Schwab and more are all customer. But the actual people who are clients are also super smart and hard working. Its incredibly rewarding to help these types of people.

Cons

Startups and earlier stage companies always have their bumps and issues. Whether its a bad quarter or mis-hire these things unfortunately happen at all companies this size. It's about taking these issues in stride, learning and moving forward. You have to be somewhat prepared for that.
