Pros
I have been fortunate enough to watch Salsify evolve from a startup with massive potential to what I refer to as a 'Remember When?' company. What is a 'Remember When?' company? It's a company that can define the rest of your career just by association because you were there during a period of incredible growth, success and market validation. It's a rubber stamp that says you are an employee who can adapt and scale with companies that are thinking BIG. Pro's Leadership. Our founders and executive leadership built an incredible company and culture and then found the right guy to help us take it to the next level. Mike Milburn is the kind of leader you want to follow into battle (often he gets on a plane and follows YOU into battle) and in a short amount of time has transformed Salsify from a company that builds elegant product, into a company that is truly focused on customer success & user adoption as its north star. While change is hard and not everyone appreciates their cheese being moved, Mike is playing chess, not checkers, and the moves he's made have helped us get where we need to be quicker than being cautious. He cares deeply about relationships and 'doing the things you say you're going to do' and his bedside manner with customers is spot on. People. Salsify hires incredibly well and thoughtfully. Everyone I work with cross-functionally is best-in-class within their function, incredibly intelligent and care a great deal about the mission of delivering on the digital shelf for customers. The people at Salsify today are going to go on to do great things for years and years both here and in their next plays. Product. Massive value and ROI. 7-figure ARR customers. Salsify went from upstart with a distinct point of view in the product information management space, to our point of view being the gold standard adapted by all the major analysts and watching competition scramble to catch up. Newcomer to Forrester LEADER in 3 years. Space. eCommerce is booming right now and brand manufacturers are scrambling to invest in the people, process and technology to deliver. Awesome opportunity for anyone looking for a new home in sales. You'll be selling the best technology available in the hottest space out there right now.
Cons
Every software employee with few cons seems to use this as their con, but it is 100% true: Salsify is not for the faint of heart nor a place to phone it in for a bit. You're going to be asked to work harder than you have ever worked, and you'll be surrounded by people doing the same.
