Toxic culture with poor leadership and high turnover
Pros
Very few. The product. The product has potential, that is true. That's not enough to outweigh the current employee experience though.
Cons
Too many to name. Leadership lacks consistency and transparency. You never know what's going to happen. Expectations and execution strategy change too frequently, communication is non existent, and employees are often left guessing about priorities. For example, the sales team was told of major changes only because the best rep at the company was leaving due to constant changes, and they feared him leaking this information to the sales team. The culture feels reactive rather than supportive, and there is little confidence from everyone that performance metrics will ever be hit. Leadership knows this, and have made cuts to shift more accounts to people, however, this has not worked. They throw out random enablement courses to try to teach people how to sell, but the the enablement team only sold a couple quarters here. The leading manager who tries to overly teach was a great SDR, not AE so nobody really pays attention to him. Calling more is not a way to better prospect. Morale has suffered with constant turnover and a lack of trust in management decisions. Rather than investing in employees for long term success, the environment feels focused on short term results at the expense of people. I am actively in interview rounds seeking my way to a company who truly values their team, as our the majority of the sales team where this isn't your first job. I would not recommend BuildOps to anyone looking for stability, strong leadership, or a healthy workplace culture.
