47% positive business outlook
Pros
Colleagues are genuinely nice people. Middle management are also great leaders.
Cons
Narcassist CEO behaviour, the c level management are scared of him and because of that they don’t protect their people. In general the senior leadership is terrible. Worse company I’ve ever worked in, during my 20 yr career.
Pros
Lots of other members willing to help each other out
Cons
CEO is a total control freak and lacks confidence in leadership team to carry out the tasks at hand. There is constant change in leadership team with average tenure extremely low. Inability to provide the team with consistent objectives and mission, these changes depend on the mood of CEO without actual time to test the strategy. No work life balance Team work in Silos
Pros
This company has survived Covid thanks to the dedication and tireless work of its employees. This unfortunately comes at a price: employees are exploited, and subject to an egocentric CEO with a spectacular lack of leadership skills. Y
Cons
ou will work countless hours, you will be promised a fair retribution (that comes with a lack of work life balance), but this will change arbitrarily at the last minute with the expectations that you keep giving 100%. Spoiler: you will get more recognition working at your local supermarket.
Pros
Teams are collaborative and genuinely care to help each other out. Leadership is receptive to feedback. I appreciate the honesty and transparency from them. They are looking for new ways in order to retain employees, focusing on mental health and creating new processes to help triage challenging situations with the product. Overall, my experience here has been positive, and I look forward on growing with this company!
Cons
We have some growing pains as we scale the business. I don't see this as a con, but more as a learning opportunity for the next phase in SpotMe's development. Working in different time zones can be challenging but not impossible.
Pros
- Company is full of diverse, bright, authentic people - Leadership is transparent with direction and big decisions. We literally get to use our own streaming and Q&A software to ask our CEO and other leaders live questions, and have them candidly answered live. - The company is extremely healthy and, as the market leader of virtual event marketing software in a post-2020 world, is in a pretty auspicious position.
Cons
- Like any company that's survived 2020, headcount needs help - Mid-management positions and are sparse/need building out
Pros
travel, evolving software, cool office, good people to work with outside of leadership
Cons
management can be brutal, hours as well
Pros
- amazing people on the sales team at SpotMe - collaboration and willingness to help each other - great work life balance - remote first company - competitive compensation - quarterly retreats to meet in person - easy access to leadership
Cons
- the team is split between US and Europe so communication can be delayed due to different time zones
Pros
- remote work - some co-workers and engineers are smart and friendly - compensation is ok to above average - company events are fun
Cons
- leadership is very old-school, more control-based than empowerment-based - nature of the even space makes technical work very stressful, especially when taking time to build robust solutions is not part of the culture - high egos abound especially in leadership, leading to an anti-collaborative environment
