Vantaggi

Fully stocked kitchen that gets restocked biweekly. Friendly people all around the office (when it doesn't come to work). Company updates that give you the direction of the company every so often. Great work/life balance - they don't overwork you like many other companies

Svantaggi

Where do I start..everything looks promising once you first get hired. As time goes on, and many..many..people leave, you start to realize the truth about the culture at Gigya. Upper management has absolutely no idea as to what direction they're going into. Recently, they let go a fairly large portion of their sales team. These sales reps weren't even let go due to performance! Many were just unlucky at the wrong time. But the biggest quarrel I have is the upwards mobility, or lack thereof I should say. Sales reps get hired in believing they have a chance to move upwards within the company. Many of the employee's in various other departments were hired as low end Sales Reps..but just came at the right time where they could get promoted. Obviously, those promotions have ceased, because I haven't seen one sales rep get promoted since then. What's the point for lower employees to stay within the company if they feel they can't get promoted? Many of the team are already looking straight towards the door.

Vantaggi

Gigya is a place where smart, hard working people flourish. Change is constant and we often try new strategies to be successful. That's what a start up is. We have a great culture and have traditionally hired great people. Unfortunately management was pushed to make rapid hires and because of that, some bad seeds joined the pack. (See recent negative reviewers) The people who wrote those reviews were people who did a mediocre job, didn't get promoted 6-8 months into the job and didn't understand that just doing the minimum to get by doesn't mean you get a shiny new promotion. It's sad that people feel the need to lash out on a place that gave them their start in sales, paid them well and taught them skills that would help them in their next career. It's very clear that Gigya wasn't the right place for them, because a true Gigyian would never bash a place that fed them, taught them, celebrated them and paid them well.

Svantaggi

Some may say that "only working from home 1 day a week" and "not enough snacks" is a con. To them I say, cry me a river or move back in with your parents and have them pack you a snack. This is your career, not play time.
