Pros

There are a handful of SOLID folks that work there and are spread throughout the organization. Their product had great potential and worked really well as it was initially intended to be used in conjunction with a very powerful CRM . Great benefits, generous comp, but that's only a + if you can hold on to your job long enough to reap the the benefits.

Cons

Tons of turnover. Hostile takeover from a C-level executive that methodically hired several previous employees/coworkers. They wiped out 80% of the sales team including sales leader in one big swoop. Most had been there less than 8 months which in enterprise sales is not nearly enough time to put numbers on the board. Some were selling and everyone had opps in pipeline. They called it a "reduction in workforce" but then turned around and hired a bunch of new sales people under the new regime. The product as it was initially derived from another GREAT platform was good. Then they wanted to start pivoting away from that platform to gain more autonomy and created a stand alone platform which does not work and was very difficult to pitch to prospects. Especially once they got to demo phase. In sales presentations, solutions team could not successfully demonstrate that the product would actually solve their challenges or was even a fit for their use case. They were all over the place when it came to targeting customers and use cases. Total disconnect between sales, marketing, and executive leadership. 90% of "target" industries weren't truly vetted out, there were no account based marketing efforts going on to gauge actual market interest, and other then a couple niche industries, they never successfully determined who their target customer was. They were shooting in a barrel!

Pros

I received my MacBook Pro to keep after being told I was getting laid off the week before Christmas

Cons

Getting laid off the week before Christmas I wasn’t sure I would write a review but if I save one person from accepting an offer from this place is it worth it. Incompetence at the C level doesn’t even begin to describe Skedulo in 2022. After a layoff in Aug 2022 those that survived were told that the August layoff was deep enough and there was no plan to lay off again. 3 months later, in December on a random Wednesday, there was another lay off. So the company meeting on Thanksgiving week with all the green colored charts about the funnel…what was that? Did someone forget to carry the one when taking the number of employees and dividing into projected revenue for the year? This place can’t seem to plan beyond a quarter. I should have stayed put and never accepted this position. Skedulo is a hot mess. The only thing that makes sense is for Skedulo to be acquired. The product is too immature to be considered enterprise level software and the one off customizations that are done for customers are really to mask the lack of features in the core product. Customers are being charged by professional services to subsidize enhancements that should be in standard core.

Pros

- CEO is very driven - High Base Pay

Cons

- A very toxic sales culture in every which way. Leadership or managers plays their favorites and will throw anybody else under the bus. - Very unrealistic quotas that are set and leadership could care less if anybody hits their number. They basically set you up for failure and do not let you try anything any different. - A very micromanaging culture where they want you chained to your desk, Managers only want things done one way even if it is wrong. - Managers will lie to you at first and tell you what you want to hear to draw you in. They do not care about your personal life and who you are as a human. Different members of the team will almost get "bullied" my upper management and will be torn down verbally. - Nobody is in sync and the teams goals do not aline. This is way to try to divide different members with different roles throughout the team apart. - One manager had a bunch of different fireable offenses. Every member of the team complained and had different examples that they shared with upper management. Instead of getting rid of the manager, they simply moved them to a different role within the organization. Simply because he has been with the company for years and has friends higher up the management ladder. - The product is below average and it is extremely difficult for companies outside of Skedulo to see where the product bring them any value. - No real leadership on either the sales or the marketing team. This lack of leadership trickles down and acts like a cancer for the whole culture of the company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are sorry to hear you had a difficult time here. Being part of a rapidly scaling company can definitely be challenging at times and we constantly strive to ensure a great employee experience. That said, your experience reminds us that we always have more to do. We will look into the specifics of some of the topics you raised. You touch on two topics we are actively investing in: manager training and employee wellbeing. We just launched a comprehensive management training program for all managers in the company which we are excited about and will help us address potential inconsistencies. We also just wrapped up our first Employee Wellness Week where we had expert speakers on wellbeing, companywide wellbeing training and exercises, and provided tools to the company to help manage some of the stresses and strains that can come from a company at our stage, such as use of Calm app and 2 Wellbeing PTO Days per quarter. These initiatives are part of ongoing investments but there is always more to do to help the company and the employee experience scale but it’s a focus for us for sure as we strive to create an environment where people can truly do their best work. - Skedulo
