Highspot Reviews

Pros

* Nice product: the best at content management. Alas, that's not enough for the market * Great customer focus

Cons

* Fiefdoms: If you want to advance, you need to kiss the rings. There are some of that in every company, but this company takes it to the next level and brings in literal family members. They bring in mothers, sisters to serve as proxies and spies. So, get in line and watch what you say. * 40-50% of the company is sales. It's all about selling. If you are in other departments, you can suck it.

Pros

I joined Highspot from a much larger company and I've been very impressed with the urgency and passion all teams here put into the company to make things happen. The bias for action is apparent when the company makes changes quickly and isn't afraid to try new ways of doing things. I see this in the teams I work with that are open to ideas to tackle challenges in new ways. The focus on customer success and adoption feels very unique in that the company is laser focused on making sure that customers are set up to be successful. I think this is a truly exceptional part of the Highspot team. The company has put a lot of effort into and continues to focus on maintaining a collaborative culture. They take this approach when interviewing employees and it goes a long way in maintaining a strong bond between employees who genuinely enjoy working together and cross functionally across the org. Jobs here offer the opportunity to take ownership of processes and improvements that you may not get the opportunity to have at larger organizations where processes are more established and departments are reluctant/resistant to change. Pay is competitive Huge focus on onboarding employees and doing it right to ensure they understand the product, industry, and company culture.

Cons

No 401k matching - if you're coming from a larger company the benefits are fine but not as strong as you may be used to depending on the industry. Flexibility in role - if you're looking for a role that is extremely defined (outside of sales) you'll need to be open to being flexible. The company is growing and responsibilities/roles will shift for new projects/initiatives pretty rapidly. This isn't an issue for me personally but something to be mindful of - it can also open up the possibility to take on new challenges.

Pros

You know you’re at the right company when the Sunday scaries isn’t a thing. Step into the office and you’ll feel what makes Highspot different. The vibe is positive and energetic. If you have an idea, you can make it happen. Leadership listens and cares. As an employee, you feel valued and know you have runway for career development. Everyone is inspired by a shared company vision. And not a day passes without plenty of laughs with your teammates. In short – Highspot’s product and people are world-class, in every way. The culture is genuine through and through – a direct result of the awesome people who continue to come onboard through hypergrowth. The team is made up of brilliant individuals with diverse passions and backgrounds, but the common denominator shared by all is a combination of kindness, intelligence, and commitment. True, we work hard. But it's hard work with a purpose, and the impact you can feel is fulfilling and motivating. At the end of the day, you can go home with ample time to live a balanced life. And when you wake up in the morning, you can feel excited knowing you’re contributing to a company that’s doing big things and going big places.

Cons

Unlimited snacks, catered lunches, team happy hours – self control can be a challenge.

Pros

People on the Services team have a wealth of experience from different backgrounds, but all are great to work with. It really feels like a team that cares about each other. Company is growing fast, so there's a lot of room to grow.

Cons

Company is growing fast, so there are some growing pains.
