Logikcull Reviews

Cons

Not a ton I can note. Typical chaos of a growing start up which is also what makes it fun. I'm the type of person who misses being in an office so I wouldn't mind some sort of limited employee fund for co-working, but it's not a huge issue.

Cons

As stated in a few reviews, leadership is composed of men who behave like a “boys club”. It can be obnoxious at times. Also as stated in other reviews, the mission and priorities are constantly flip flopping after CEO reads a new book or something on LinkedIn. It’s exhausting. The biggest issue though is on the go to market (SDR, AE, marketing) side of the company. I highly suggest you do not work here if you’re just getting started in your career. Training is not organized and doesn’t offer the support you need to actually do your job well. Management changed multiple times over a year, and no support was given when expectations were altered. You are not set up for success here and it’s unfortunate I wasted a year of my career here

Cons

I’m not going to list a collection of cons here. What I will say is I don’t have many because what I was told Logikcull is, is exactly what I found. It’s a challenge, it’s the underdog in a massive industry filled with competition, but we can beat any of’em if we work harder than all of’em. If it were easy, everyone would do it, and I like that it's not. We have some product enhancements to build, but we’re adding heads in product areas that will enable faster production. In the meantime, we’ll win on service support unlike any other. Goals will be lofty, and we will run with urgency, but the team around you will help reduce the headwinds. Leadership will push you, encourage you, motivate you, and question you with positive intent. Feedback will be critical and detailed. Ideas will be met with caution, but if you back them with data and bring solutions to problems, you can basically try anything. This is what you’re getting into when you join. Frankly, who would want it any other way?

Cons

It is a nimble environment. Things change very quickly and if you can't move quickly then this isn't the place for you.

Cons

I was recruited to join Logikcull from what would end up being my direct manager. I didn't know much about the company but due to it's high ratings I decided to go through the interview process. After 2 months and 6 interviews, I was hired. I was elated, the interview process was long and thorough but I knew that if I made it through all of it, they would be committed to my success. I told my manager that I had quite a bit of PTO laid out for the rest of 2022 due to some significant life events that were happening & I was assured it would be no problem. Fast forward 3 months, I'm mid-way through my first Q as a seller and I return back from my honeymoon to a PIP. I was stunned. There was a reference to a previous "warning" about my productivity that never happened. I don't even know if this was legal. Since my direct manager didn't offer me a real explanation, I took my shock to the CRO and asked what was going on. I was told 3 things that led to the PIP. 1) Since people who started 2 weeks after me were on the same trajectory as me I was looked down upon 2) I took too much time off (all pre-planned and agreed that it was no issue before I signed my offer letter, never used one sick day) 3) I did not communicate enough in the team Slack channels ( I preferred direct messages with those I had questions for, trust me I was plenty busy on Slack) Even though me and the other 3 members of my team were all sitting at the same # in reference to goal when the PIP was delivered, I was the only one to get one. From there, I was determined to make it work so I stayed, worked hard, took on additional responsibility (answering customer issues at 9:00 pm on a Friday night, anything I could do to prove that I wanted to be there) but the opportunities stopped coming my way. Since I did not make 50% of quota in my FIRST QUARTER, I was let go. Complete joke, especially when most of the business we were tasked with closing was more aligned with the Pay as You go side of the business versus Subscription based customers. We received 0 quota attainment for 90% of the deals we worked. Just a completely backwards way of thinking and comp plan. This was due to the Pay as You go business undergoing significant changes during my tenure which led to all of the responsibility of handling those customers falling on our shoulders.

Cons

- Can be a bit of a boys club (many people have worked together for years and were in office before COVID hit. It can be a challenge to establish the same type of relationships. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it did create disconnection between newcomers who are remote) - Lack of career progression (being a company of around 100 people makes career progression difficult. A promotion usually means "senior" is attached to the front of someone's previous title, but the job itself does not change) - Leadership decisions felt disconcerted (the company wants to grow tremendously over the next several years, but the focus on how to get there changed quarter-by-quarter) - Feedback was rarely requested or heard (some decisions significantly impacted the workflows and daily tasks of other individuals, but decisions are made top-down and IC's are expected to roll with it. Feedback was not met with change and feedback before a decision was implemented was never requested) - These frequent changes were chalked up to being a "startup" but the company has been around for 16+ years - Focus would sometimes become hyperfocused on the competition which detracted from Logikcull's strengths - No collaboration leaving teams confused and unaware of what to do - No transparency into decisions. Again, decisions were made top-down, but there was no explanation as to why direction would change from a previously made decision. - Very little autonomy, told how to do every facet of your role regardless of title - One mistake looms over peoples' head for the entirety of their tenure

Cons

Leadership: Logikcull is a one man show run with only the input of a few close yes men on the executive team. There is no diversity of thought, strategy, or personnel (zero C-suite women or POC). Before taking a job at Logikcull, you must be prepared to have very little input in the decisions being made (regardless of title) and realize that any pushback you give is going to damage your internal brand. Once you are out of the "boys club", you are out for good. Strategic plans appear to be built on whatever book the CEO has read or LinkedIn post he has seen in the past week, which leads to inconsistency and confusion. Growth Opportunities: Make sure you ask a lot of questions around this in the interview process. The CRO is very persuasive but he doesn't have the authority to do much except provide a small buffer for the team from the CEO's micromanagement. Behind the scenes, he knows that there's not much pushback he can do without damaging his own status. While Logikcull will tout the success of the team (hitting 8 or 9 straight quarters), the reality is that this is carried by a few outsized upsell accounts while the vast majority of the team is significantly missing quota. They also mention the idea of IPO, but the company runs very lean and has had multiple starts/stops/direction changes over the last 15 years. There isn't a payoff coming at the end of the journey here. Culture: If you are in sales, be prepared for the CEO, CRO, and CMO to listen to all of your calls, read your emails in outreach, and criticize you to sales leadership. It isn't uncommon to receive a feedback notification at 7 or 8 at night on any given day of the week/weekend. I believe this is done with the intention of helping, but the majority of the feedback is critical and can be a shock to the system when coming directly from the CEO. Calendar stalking and combing through your slack messages are a regular practice and will play a factor in your ability to be promoted or put on a performance plan. Make one mistake and their impression of you is tainted. Make two mistakes, and you are out of the "club". Bottom line: Logikcull could be good if you have been laid off and need a paycheck, or are in the very beginning or very twilight of your career. There are some smart and motivated people here, but it's hard for them to impact your day to day in a fully remote environment. For those that are driven by autonomy, looking for career growth, or working for a successful exit at a fast growing tech company, this is not the place for you. I hope this helps anyone considering Logikcull to ask pointed questions in the interview process and if you join, I hope it helps you avoid some of the pitfalls here. Crossing my fingers that this review stays up, since they already tried to remove the first one.

Cons

We are still in start up mode which means we don't always have everything figured out and sometimes priorities shift fast.

Cons

I have none at the moment

Cons

Change is constant in this cloud tech world- which might not be for everyone. But I absolutely love it. Customer suggestions to employee suggestions are heard and acted upon.
