It was hard work but worth it

Pros

Talented and tight-knit design team.

Cons

Massive leadership turnover toward the end of my tenure

Pros

The company culture was stellar, open door to upper management, CEO was often present in our NY office. Genuinely felt like you could talk to anybody and be treated with respect and decorum. The team-building was top-notch too, it was seriously a pleasure working there.

Cons

None really, the BDR role isn't exactly a cakewalk but Percolate incentivized us to come in and do our job well with perks, great benefits, unlimited PTO, and more.

Pros

The people - most of them are wonderful to work with. Leadership is pretty cool too.

Cons

Don't seem to have direction. Confusion about where the product is going.

Pros

- Extremely smart people on the business and product teams - Nice office space in Soho - Great client roster - Opportunity to move up on certain teams - Smart founders who understand the space and can clearly communicate the vision

Cons

- No appreciation for employees: we talk about a "Great culture" but the day to day says differently - No transparency or visibility in any capacity of the company; I've been there for a long time and have absolutely no idea the % of shares I own - People leave or get fired and no one is told about it so people walk around asking for this person without realizing they have left - Product is behind the market in many aspects - Sales environment is really, really bad. No leadership at all and you can feel the stress level every day. Feels like a Boiler Room type of environment. - A lot of talented people leaving the company

Pros

Super friendly people. Lots of office events and group outings to blow off steam and socialize. Big enough that things have calmed down some and there's clearly defined process where there should be, but also small enough that there's not too much bureaucracy and there aren't rules just for the sake of having rules. The company is still experiencing growth and making a lot of money so need to worry about it running out of runway at least in the near term. It feels like everyone is on the same team and working together and across departments, not much politics. If you're scared off by the negative reviews from the past don't be, there was a low period for a little while after we cut down headcount to keep our burn rate under control, but the company's been growing stably since then. I joined after all that had already happened and have seen nothing but great things from Percolate.

Cons

Just the usual things you'd encounter when working in a smaller organization. If you need something from another part of the company you might have to be patient because everyone's trying to do as much as possible as quickly as possible but it's a young company so we don't have as many resources as we do aspirations. You might want really want something that'll make your team's life way easier by Q2 but have to wait until Q3 because some other priority came up, that sort of thing.
