Hootsuite Reviews

Pros

great company, salary is good and the outlook and internal learning initiatives is unparalleled.

Cons

They need to fine tune the post-acquisition processes.

Pros

Mostly agile with latest technologies, innovative and forward looking when trying to solve a business problem, good place to learn large scale problems.

Cons

Not too welcoming in messaging to new people. Can be a bad culture/environment depending on team. Negative culture, fixed mindset and insecure managers thrash people around without doing their job of motivating and growing people.

Pros

Overall morale is strong, culture is really fun, great work-play balance, great Mt. Pleasant location.

Cons

Compensation seems to be below market, even in the low-comp market of Vancouver. Product is slow to evolve.

Pros

Hootsuite is a fast paced environment full of opportunity. Career growth happens not only laterally, but also across geographies and between departments. Managers are committed to their team's growth and development, provided you show initiative, are self-motivated, and can build a business case, overachieve quota/targets, or drive efficiency. If you are a self-starter committed to driving hard for results then this is the place for you.

Cons

Some of the legacy staff (particularly in London) are overly negative yet don't have solutions for how to improve. That said they are in the minority and with a new leader in place, I don't expect they will last very long.

Pros

Awesome company, great brand name as the leader in the space, and a lot of exciting things happening

Cons

Lower compensation, lack of transparency sometimes, and a harder growth pattern.

Pros

Some smart people, some opportunities for certification internally, opportunities to work with great, high profile clients, beer in the office, free access to Hootsuite.

Cons

Culture rewards having a fun attitude, not getting your work done or even trying to be good at your job; this is true from the top of the company to the bottom. Me-first culture, if you like being recognized for anything, be prepared to scream your own name first. Product team makes large promises they don't deliver upon, have large plans but they fail to deliver or own that failure. Hootsuite's product is getting lapped by their competition and they don't seem to care. Entitled and lazy sales team that blindly follows processes built by management and is incapable of having a natural, solutions-oriented conversation with prospects or existing clients. Those who are capable in management spend their time playing office politics and limiting the exposure and opportunity of those below them.

Pros

Many very bright, hard working people and a vibrant corporate culture. Exciting and rapidly growing & changing market and Hootsuite is an industry leader.

Cons

Services need to be simplified and better, more direct marketing to user applications, especially for sales teams for social selling. Vertical industry selling/marketing teams and focus would also help. Many new nice competitors make growth difficult.

Pros

The company has a good work and life balance to offer its employees. It is a work hard - play hard atmosphere.

Cons

The company has a high percentage of employee turnover, i.e. workers who leave the organization and are replaced by new employees.
