Vantaggi

-Decent amount of vacation time. -Company tracks an internal movement metric to allow employees to try new roles and gain experience.

Svantaggi

The amount of missing senior leadership is very apparent. No CIO, COO, CTO, new CFO only just started in Jan 2018. There is a complete lack of unified direction for the company. With all of the missing pieces there is no experienced leadership that understands how departments functions together, or the business impact of what their departments decisions have on the rest of the org. Middle management is made up of people that just happened to take over roles from all of the previous exits. They are trying to hire people with more experience (which is good), but the junior level middle management is threatened by the same experienced people they are looking to hire, so much of their experience is neglected or ignored. The inexperienced leadership will burn endless cycles trying to solve problems that have simple solutions- if only they would ask for help. This only further compounds cross org problems as the chasms between departmental silos grow wider. Vancouver is still the center of the universe. If you don't live in Vancouver...don't bother working here. ALL of the "good" ideas come out of Vancouver. For such a small company that is global, it is amazing how Toronto and UK employees have such little voice when it comes to helping shape or influence overall business impact. UK employees stay late on calls to meet with Vancouver employees, but you'll seldom get someone in Vancouver to get on the phone before 8am. The product is a mess and lacks considerable basic functionality that so many competitors have. ie - social listening beyond a handful of social channels

Vantaggi

- Strong brand awareness in social media management - Good people on many teams - Flexible remote work environment - Opportunity to learn in a fast-moving company

Svantaggi

- The Talkwalker merger never seemed to have a clear plan for how the two companies would actually work together. Even more than a year later, there still was not a simple or consistent story about the combined company, products, or customer value. - Leadership often seemed more focused on social media and public visibility than on running the company and improving execution internally. - A lot of the marketing leadership team came from agency backgrounds and did not seem to have much real SaaS operating experience, especially around product marketing, lifecycle marketing, or long-term growth strategy. - Many employees were afraid to speak up when they saw problems with a process or strategy. There was not always a culture where people felt safe challenging bad decisions. - Teams across Product, Marketing, Sales, and Leadership often did not seem aligned, which led to confusion, shifting priorities, and slow execution. - There were many smart and hardworking people at the company, but constant changes and unclear direction made it hard to move quickly or build momentum.
