RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Sojern full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Great unlimited PTO policy, cool and smart people, fun culture, lot of free food and team events, ok benefits (could be better 401k) great managers that care about your future. This is not your typical old school office environment, they provide laptops and standing desk, fun open door office and everyone can interact with each-other, which makes it fun.
Cons
No matching 401K, regions are not connected and communication falls short, company moves too fast and creates inconsistency which can make it very stressful. Strategies are very general instead of considering it by market. Immaturity kids can be seen within different teams, and for managers it can be stressful since there is an entitlement culture at times.
Advice to Management
Don't get scare of growing and holding people more accountable. You can't please everyone, at one point you need to get rid of the "start up" mentality. Have realistic and achievable goals.

Pros
Fast, fun, friendly. Sojern is a great company and I'm insanely grateful for the opportunities they've given me. Leadership is experienced and accesible. You'll get what you want if you ask, work hard, and prove yourself.
Cons
500 person startup. There are a lot of things going on at once.
Advice to Management
As busy and stressed as you may be, take the time to invest even more in the people.

Pros
Best company I have ever worked for. Best career decision yet. Inclusive, loaded with culture, understanding to all situations that come up (death in the fam in my case) and willing to train at every avenue. All about the growth and support!
Cons
Yesterday was my 4 month anniversary, none yet. Although I might be slightly buttered up from one of the best times of my life, the annual global conference.
Advice to Management
KEEP ON KEEPIN ON! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO
