Khoros Reviews

Pros

Overall, I think Khoros has a great future ahead of it. It's not the right place for everyone, so I would suggest anyone looking to join ask questions in the interviews to make sure you think it's a good fit for you. * Amazing opportunities for all levels of the organization to grow in their career * A lot of learning and options to expand your knowledge of how businesses work * Decent benefits (including 4 / week...

Cons

* Still a lot of unknowns * Disparate systems make for challenging day-to-day execution

Advice to Management

* Focus on employee morale * Don't underinvest in customer facing roles

Pros

Great company with lots of perks

Cons

Just acquired by Vista Equity, so working through a number of pains related to the merger

Pros

Work life balance. Competitive pay. Great leadership.

Cons

Lunch isn't served on fridays.

Pros

- Downtown office with parking. - Some of the people who work there are creative, collaborative, and smart. - Amazing SXSW parties. - 100% covered health insurance. - Free lunch 4 days a week & snacks.

Cons

- The politics and gossip here are insane. In general, anyone in a management role is way more focused on managing up then they are helping grow and support the team they manage. - Middle management is a joke, personally speaking, my manager had no experience in leading (director level) and could care less about employee growth. I constantly asked for feedback and what I could do to get to the next level in my career...

Advice to Management

Trust your employees more & give people growth plans.

Pros

USED to be an awesome culture and workplace. Executive team had a vision

Cons

the merger/acquistion resulted in an inordinate amount of lithium leaders staying and a huge amount of Spredfast leaders being shown the door. It was publicly stated in meetings that the newco by the new president and CEO that they wanted young , inexperienced (and cheaper) people to grow into roles...smacked of agism across the company

Advice to Management

doesn't matter too late

Pros

Kind people, good product, snacks

Cons

high stress, high turnover, complex market

Advice to Management

none

Pros

-Old leadership -Product development -People (old group)

Cons

Leadership at Spredfast used to have amazing leadership prior to the Lithium merger. Most of the original Spredfasters have left and now it is at least 50% Lithium. The C-suite of the new company seems formal, rigid & cold. It's too bad as Spredfast used to be awesome to work with & the culture was Play Hard, Work Hard.

Advice to Management

Focus on all employees that remain; not just the Lithium folks. Decisions on layoffs were hastily done without even meeting or getting to know folks. Most, if not all, of the layoff decisions were made without any input from direct managers. Chill out with all the formal changes. You are making the environment hard to be excited about.

Pros

Flexible working hours, online trainings

Cons

Cannot think of any cons

Pros

free lunch. parking downtown. SOME really cool, smart people to work with. relaxed work from home and "unlimited pto" are really nice. Getting to work for some of the biggest brands around is pretty awesome. Especially when you get to see your teams work in action on tv or a huge screen or whatever. I learned a lot in my time here, but mainly only because most managers were not capable of doing their jobs, so the...

Cons

There is absolutely no career growth unless you want to suck up and brown nose the people above you. This causes people who have no business or experience managing a team to suddenly become your manager or get some other awesome promotion that is not deserved. Workplace gossip is constant. If you speak up because you and others on your team are unhappy, they'll find a way to shut you up. Even before the merger, there...

Advice to Management

Promote the people who deserve it. Listen to the individual team members. Stop trampling over the people who actually care about the company.

Pros

Put responsibility on the employees and kept out of the way Good ideas on where to take certain products Good office in Austin Very intelligent people in some positions

Cons

Remote employees are neglected and forgotten Product and Development on an island and don't work well with other departments Integrations seemed random and poorly thought out while big ones neglected

Advice to Management

Listen to the customer facing departments for suggestions on the product and integrations more as those departments are not in touch with the market as they should be. And pay more attention to remote employees as they are often left out.
