Pros

The beer Fridays were nice. The former sales team.

Cons

Before I left the CEO was running this company into the ground. It was the most toxic environment I have ever stepped foot in. Half of the sales team was let go in 2018. With another round recently. They call it change, it's flip flopping in direction. The CEO has no clue how to lead this business to success. Screams at staff, acts like a child. Enjoys asking questions., then answering them, often incorrectly. The go-forward strategy lurched in one direction or another. The leadership team was filled with low quality talent.

Thank you for your feedback. I want you to know that I read each and every Glassdoor review and that I take the feedback seriously. Igloo operates in a very competitive industry which requires us to adapt quickly in order to stay ahead of our competition and to maintain the fast pace of growth we continue to experience. You’ll find this in any technology company, and perhaps even more so at Igloo over the past year. During this time, every employee has had to evolve and adapt to this new, dynamic environment, and as a result, they have grown leaps and bounds both professionally and personally. This is an incredibly exciting time at Igloo and I understand that not everyone enjoys working in this type of environment. As the CEO of a leading tech company, tough decisions often have to be made to ensure the company and employees are positioned well for years to come and to best serve our customers. These decisions are not taken lightly and will never please everyone. One thing that will never change is my passion, drive, and my relentless pursuit of excellence in everything we do for Igloo and its employees. For anyone reading our Glassdoor reviews that is considering a career at Igloo, I encourage you to talk to current employees in order to get a more complete view of the culture and environment at Igloo.

Pros

Appspace has offered a great work-life balance, a willingness to embrace new ideas, and an environment that’s supportive without creating constant performance pressure.

Cons

Some of the challenges I’ve experienced at Appspace have been leadership inconsistency due to organizational changes and turnover at the upper-management level. At times, decision-making authority felt limited, which slows progress. There also needs to be more structured coaching and mentorship opportunities from senior high performers to help support continued growth and development.
