Pros

It certainly is a startup by all means.

Cons

As the VP of Marketing pointed out below, the engineering team makes up half of Hoopla's employees. That indicates that all focus is on building a product, rather than teams that can support the product with marketing and sales efforts as well as a customer success program. All budget is allocated towards the product/engineering team which leads to layoffs in other areas in the company because of no available budget. No efforts are made to retain talent. There is no education and training to grow or even a proper on-boarding program.

Thanks for your review. We absolutely want to hear from you and I would encourage you to reach out to your manager or come talk to me. I would be happy to sit down with you and hear your concerns and share more details about the business and why we are investing in the areas we are. The opinions and feedback from all of our employees is very important to us and there are always ways we can improve.

Pros

The people are bar none the best part of Hoopla. We are a growing, but very tight knit team of intelligent and reliable people. Everyone wants to learn which creates an "open door" environment across departments. As someone who works in sales, I work with marketing, product, engineering, and top management on a weekly basis. The culture is also a major pro. Happy hours, catered lunch every other week, fully stocked kitchen (and bar :) ), customizable desk set up for each employee, zen room, company outings/parties, colorful office, and a great HR team that does everything humanly possible to make your work environment great. Hoopla cares not just about your work life, but your life in general. The product is a must have for companies all around the world. Hoopla changes the way companies celebrate wins and communicate, doing so in a visual and exciting way. It's a fun product to sell and use internally every day. You are not a kink in the chain here. What you do on a daily/weekly basis truly impacts the outcome of the business. You learn so much in this kind of environment. Very competitive pay/compensation. Flexible vacation. Plus, I don't spend money on breakfast or lunch as there's a fully stocked kitchen and fridge.

Cons

This is a software startup, so there are growing pains and shifts in priorities...but the beauty of it is that your voice is heard throughout it all (if you want your voice to be heard).

Thanks for taking the time to share this. We really want to foster an open and collaborative environment where people can continue to grow. It is at times a bit crazy and hectic, but people like you who thrive in a startup environment really make the company great. Keep the feedback coming!
