Pros

* Sub par perks relative to many SF startups. Office snacks, lunch catered on Fridays only, a clipper card. * I've met a handful of strong individual contributors here that I'd recommend and love to work with again at any other future company.

Cons

* Marketing is revolving door. We have had 4 Product Marketing Managers in the last 3 years. No one seems to wants to work for the CMO after a while. * Sales numbers have been flat quarter-over-quarter. No real growth. The previous generation of sales persons were the best and they have left having seen the ground reality. New hires in their place are unable to make it and the problem is made worse by a lack of training, sub-par leads and poor go-to-market execution. * All product decisions are just based on the whims of the CEO. The voice product offering has been an abject failure that the company spent 2 years building but no one cares about today. * All employees must maintain a fake sense of positivity. If you express areas of growth to your managers, you will be considered a "displeased, bad apple" and the next target to be asked to leave. On rare occasions your feedback is requested but immediately dismissed as being "not experienced enough to provide commentary". * Compensation and perks are below that of other companies in San Francisco. Jobseekers - Don't make a move to Insightly out of desperation. Continue interviewing and take a job elsewhere. Or you will join the many others here who have one foot out the door.

Pros

Best company I’ve ever worked for. My manager was laid back and trusted me to do my job. Always checked on me and made sure I was supported. My entire team was supportive and helpful despite company pivots and changes. Also after a reduction in force they were very generous to allow us to keep our equipment and help us with resources.

Cons

Experienced a reduction in force due to sales not hitting their numbers yet after reduction in force, sales was still able to go on their offsite celebration. It was a bit disheartening as many people were laid off. It didn’t feel appropriate.

Pros

The biggest pro is the work from anywhere policy.

Cons

We went through a merger with Unbounce and it ruined the Insightly culture.
