Pros

Um...not much to be honest. Yeah we have food in our kitchen, but what company doesn't? It's a kitchen. We get a shipment of food every six weeks and the good stuff runs out in three days. I like some of the people here, they're smart. And we have good vacation time. But that's really about it.

Cons

Hmm, well let's see. The morale here SUCKS because our office is boring and we never do any fun events any more. A lot of people recently quit. Management doesn't seem to care the slightest bit about our employees and they never have. Our competitors are gaining on us a lot and we are being disillusioned into thinking otherwise. When I saw comments like, "we’ve got all sorts of cool activities during the day" and "the culture is really fun" in these past three reviews, I felt compelled to call out the nonsense. It's not fair for prospective employees to be lied to like that, and I'm personally sick of this misrepresentation. The writing style makes it seem like it was written by the same exact person too. Do NOT work here. This place has been going down the tubes for a while now and they're starting to feel it, hence the reason to write a bunch of fake reviews and make this place seem better than what it really is.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re so unhappy at Confirmit. We strive to make Confirmit a great place to work because we DO recognize that as a software company, our human capital is truly our greatest asset. I would like to respond to some of the points you make in your review. While HR would love to take credit for the articulate writing in the previous positive reviews, they are the genuine words of our amazing employees – not HR. HR does not, nor have we ever, written the reviews on Glass Door. And I’m sure that most of our team members would agree that we DO have cool activities here – your review states that you are a current employee in our New York office – so you must have missed our recent party at CitiField where we took in a Mets game from a luxury suite (which was also one of the best-received events we’ve EVER done in NY), and you also must not have been attending our regular Happy Hour events that take place in NY at pubs near the office, or the various lunchtime activities. We have very busy Activities Committees in our offices and they do an outstanding job of planning events, all year long, that they believe the entire team will enjoy, and they are very well attended. I’m not sure where you’re getting your news about our results, either; Confirmit is having a record year with huge competitive wins in 2015. Our employee retention rate is also very high and we’re growing so much that we need to renovate our New York office to make room for more! Prospective candidates who are questioning whether or not we are successful should take a look at the press releases on our website or read the analyst reports on our place in the market.
