Pros
Great co-workers – friendly, hard-working, and intelligent. Working in the SaaS space always brings exciting challenges. Product is OK, and provides some value to customers.
Cons
With most start-ups, there are inherent challenges that accompany working with an emerging product. Unfortunately, the challenges at Envisio are exacerbated by being a small team, wherein every decision (critical, or otherwise) is micromanaged by Mike Bell – a CEO that lacks data-driven decision-making abilities, strategy, and logic. The majority of top-level decisions are made on gut instinct, and with disregard to middle-management and employee input. The workplace culture at Envisio is also poor. Morale is extraordinarily low. While employees are friendly, hardworking, and easygoing - Mike Bell's conduct is atrocious. Each employee, including management, is made to feel replaceable; an interesting strategy in a company where your number of co-workers can be counted on two hands. In terms of compensation, every member of the team (from Development, to Customer Success, to Sales) is nickel-and-dimed to save pennies where they can. Verbal agreements are a farce – if you don’t get something in writing with ironclad clauses, don’t expect any agreement to be honored. Word of advice to job-seekers: I understand times are tough right now. However, unless you're penniless in the street, I wouldn't think twice about working here . I wish my opinions were skewed or fabricated, much like some of the other Envisio reviews on here, but unfortunately that’s not the case. I challenge anyone seeking to work at Envisio; reach out to some of the current employees. Ask them for their honest opinion, in confidence. I would expect their opinion to align with my own. No one treats their time here more than a pit-stop, with their eyes set somewhere else in the near future.
