Pros

Good office location, right in the center.

Cons

Lost most of it's core cultural values that made working here attractive for people who build and own things. Talking > building time now. Engineering leadership are in meetings all day, disconnected from the 'field', relaying what they're supposed to actually be doing on the team without giving any recognition in return. Some teams have formed 'bubbles' trying to ignore all the fire outside. If you are not in one of those, good luck. As a result, high turnover rates make things even harder for remaining people.

Pros

On the surface, the company has potential. Powerful platform that connects with a wide range of channels. But that’s where it ends.

Cons

Do you like constantly moving targets? How about no firm product roadmap? Or maybe poor executive leadership that pushes you to your breaking point? Then Smartly is the place for you. Breakdowns among executive leadership from sales, marketing, and product all make for the perfect storm of chaos that is impossible to navigate. You’ll join endless all-hands meetings with C-Suites screaming “GSD” paired with “push push push” as their version of a rally cry for everyone to meet aggressive quarterly targets. Culture is toxic and unenjoyable. Employee turnover is constant, whether by choice or by force. There is no time for celebration for any type of wins, whether they be on a department or company level. If you’re looking for a rewarding experience, this is not it.
