ON24, Inc. Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Coworkers were nice for the most part

Cons

Terrible work life balance. Team is way understaffed. I had a terrible manager who is not capable of managing people. Absolutely zero perks. Low PTO allowance and minimal paid holidays. 401k match is a joke ($500). Mediocre benefits (insurance premiums not fully paid unless you choose the high deductible plan). It’s an old company, but without the benefit of being an established company, only the cons. I would not recommend this company.

Pros

The sales culture was really nice. I would say everyone was really friendly with one another. Everyone is really nice. I never felt any toxicity with the culture at ON24. I enjoyed everyone I worked with and coming to work everyday felt like being around friends. They also do care about internal growth / promotion from within. Great work / life balance.

Cons

They really need to work on their benefits and perks. Not comparative within the industry. They do not offer any parental leave outside what is required by the state. They only offer catered lunch 3 days a month, and food is expensive in the financial district. Pre-tax commuter benefits but no reimbursement.

Pros

Nothing all, hard to think of positives

Cons

Work Life Balance, run away from company

Pros

Good product but can be better. Some good people.

Cons

CEO and management team are poor leaders. Bad company culture. No work life balance. No match for 401k. Various department heads only look out for themselves. Talent management is uninspiring and is never around to help..

Pros

Absolutely amazing co-workers (while they are there) Competitive Compensation Excellent sales support staff (sales engineering)

Cons

Pretty convinced that most positive reviews on regarding ON24 were submitted by ON24. Sales rep turnover is through the roof. Out of 100 sales reps there are 10 that have been there longer than 3 years. Extremely under-qualified sales management consists of former sales reps, the same goes for director level.. cultural environment is akin to working your way into a fraternity... like a racist southern university fraternity when you Indonesian.. Absolutely no work/life balance. Your job will consist of making reports on top of reports for the sake of making reports. micromanagement is an understatement.

Pros

Good office location and great product. Bar-none the best webcasting solution out there, selling it isn't the biggest challenge you'll face working here. Decent standard benefits, a few perks like catered lunches for certain holidays, and a few employee outings here and there. Flexible about remote work, depending on your manager. Decent work-life balance.

Cons

The culture at ON24 is not that of a tech company, or really any company that truly values their employees. The so-called "Culture Club" is half the reason there even are positive reviews on Glassdoor -- people have been asked to post reviews to bump the ratings. Below market compensation is rampant, and leads to a demotivated and dissatisfied workforce across departments. Management switches overall company/business objectives so quickly you're bound to get whiplash, and never feel like you actually accomplish anything. Horrible silos between, and even within, departments, something typical of much larger organizations but not something I expected at a sub-500 employee "start-up." Incredibly high turnover - for a reason.

Pros

Some of the people are great. Product is admirable.

Cons

I worked on the business side for about a year. Against my better instinct, I took the job because I thought highly of the products which I used in a previous life. The fact that there was so much turn around just in my first month of working there should've been a huge red flag. I am suspicious of the volume of "favorable" posts recently-I think it's only fair that potential employees get the big picture. It is NOT a fun culture. The office feels like a graveyard. People come and go and the ones who stay are there for 15+ years because of some warped perception of loyalty. I will say that work/life balance is great there. But it isn't worth it given the cons.
