A Captain less ship adrift in the martech sea
Pros
Team of eager and young colleagues looking to get their foot in the door in martech. As the office has transitioned largely back to in person it's an enjoyable office environment.
Cons
At one point this company had promise but leadership changes have caused major irreparable flaws at every level of the organization. There has been a major exodus of talent at all levels of the organization and the backfills are much more junior then the specific roles need. This isn't the fault of the new employees but it's likely because they're cheaper to employ. That combined with clearly employer favored new compensation plans indicates that the company is not in a healthy fiscal state. The individuals who have been advanced to management roles are vastly underqualified for the roles they are in. This has reflected itself in how completely stagnant the product offering has become. Major new features and functions that have been promised are now stretching across years with no delivery. The product offering is essentially the same year to year. While clients do get value out of usage that timeline is narrowing for more mature clients. The workload is literally impossible to manage given the current staffing. There are not enough hours in the day or days in the year to deliver what is contractually required by clients. There needs to be an extremely substantial expansion of hiring which management has not shown the ability or desire to fulfil up to this point
