Mixed Messaging - Anonymous employee Go Local Interactive Employee Review

Good culture and structure where they make it clear what you need to do to be successful

Food options are horrible and the sales team takes all the gum

Free coffee, great coworkers, somewhat flexible work-from-home schedule.

I was here for three years and every major decision made by management seemed to backfire. When hired, my department was in its own room, the entire department met daily to discuss what they were working on, people were getting hired, the company was growing, it looked like I made a great decision! A few months in, the room was vacated and transformed into what was intended to be a meeting room for prospective clients but instead became a cavernous room for some internal meetings and a quiet area for maybe 3 or 4 people who actually went over there to work. The department was mixed in with all the others and a few people left over the decision. Then, things were fine for a while, but over the last year have consistently gone downhill. First, the company, which built and maintained Wordpress websites for clients, chose to force the clients off Wordpress and onto a new website template built in-house. Most legacy clients said no thanks and left. Sales team has been making plenty of sales, which I do hope makes plenty of money, but given what has happened this year it doesn’t look like it. There have been multiple rounds of layoffs this year and I was claimed in the latest as of this review. The current company workforce is about half what it was when I started.
