Signpost Reviews

Pros

Culture: If you are looking to grow as an engineer Signpost is the place for you. The culture at Signpost emphasizes employees growth and development and everyone is super helpful and wants you to learn. People are also very inclusive and encouraging, especially the more senior engineering. As a junior engineer, I feel very comfortable trying new things and pitching ideas. The responses I get are always very positive even when the idea wouldn't work: "Actually that wouldn't work because XYZ" or "Thats a super cool idea, why don't you try...". And often are followed up with a discussion aimed at helping me to understand the subject in question more deeply. Engineering: I find work at Signpost to be super interesting and enjoyable. Since there are a lot of new features in the works, you get a lot of opportunities to write new code which I really enjoy. Signpost also does a great job of balancing moving fast with code quality. With super well maintained unit/functional tests and seamless devOps, developing in the codebase is a dream. Overall Company: Everyone is super stoked on the product and the vision so there is definitely great energy (even virtually). I think it helps that we have a super important target customer so it's easy to get excited about delivering value and getting the company closer to its goals.

Cons

There's no 401k matching which is a bummer.

Pros

You can come in to work half asleep and do the job. They just ask that you work as if you're part of a call center. The role is perfect if you're lazy, have no ambition, and money is not a factor in your life.

Cons

Pay is terrible Product is terrible Management is terrible Absolutely no integrity top down, and almost encouraged to make a sale no matter what. Including lying and be sneaky with customers in middle of nowhere america to take 5k from them for a software that doesn't work. Legit the product just sends a drip campaign email to every customer asking for a review and sending one off promotional emails. Everything is automated so if a customer leaves a review they are then bombarded to leave a review on every other site because there was engagement.

Pros

Flexibility to work from home, okay starting pay, manager bonus

Cons

The job is churn and burn. No one knows what’s going on in other teams, different teams selling different prices?? No one knew what was going on ever. 100 dials a day required for the AE’s?? That’s an SDR job. Expecting to close on one call to plumbers? Not being able to self source leads so we had to go off purchased phone numbers. Most people that we called were outright racist. CEO is bribing people to rate the company on Glassdoor instead of listening to employees. It’s sad. I think some people that work there don’t know what a fun sales job is like. This isn’t it. Get out while you can. Looming doom because they don’t even know if the company will be funded. Is this even a company anymore?? Also the job and the earnings were grossly misrepresented by the recruiter. Listen to the reviews. They are all true. Except most of the 5 star ones that the CEO is asking employees to make??? Is this even appropriate?

Pros

good bagels they werent cheap with those

Cons

pay, management(abusive physically and verbally) product

Pros

- There are some really great people that work there - Very easy to WFH/flexible with location - Product is finally getting the opportunity to better the platform and turn it into what the sales team has been over-selling for years

Cons

- Almost all C-levels are new and care very little how much blood and sweat and time any employee has put into the company - HR is a JOKE - Employees are overworked and underpaid, pay and comp are below industry standards - PTO went from unlimited to "flex," and time off is subtly used against you - Several recent rounds of layoffs - Culture is mostly gone. It was really the thing that attracted and kept a lot of people because honestly, the job isn't easy (sales or CS) - Morale is pretty dang low
