Vantaggi

It's a salary... it pays my rent and puts food on the table, and it is 100% the only reason I'm still working at this miserable organization. If my superiors found out I wrote this, I'd be fired immediately.

Svantaggi

Jobscience is owned and operated by the CEO and funded by his octogenarian father, the CFO. Despite being in existence for nearly 20 years, the company still considers itself a "startup" -- an illusion perpetuated by Management to justify their greedy and exploitative practices. Jobscience has developed a particularly callous model; They hire young, naive, and inexperienced new college grads for salaries which in the Bay Area can only be described as poverty wages. The company (bottom line) benefits enormously from the undervalued and underpaid labor of these young workers, who have no real choice but to stick it out until they've accumulated enough experience to leave and go to a real company. The only personnel in the organization who make anything close to a market-rate salary are the executives and managers. Believe me, corporate greed ain't just for the Fortune 500's...

Thank you Anonymous for your candid comments about your experience of working at Jobscience, it is sad to hear that you just “show up to work every day for the salary”. At Jobscience, we are in hyper growth mode and for a small company of around 50 people, the change that growth brings can be unsettling. We offer all our employees market rate salaries as well as valuable employee benefits to all our employees young and old. We pride ourselves in the investment we make in our younger employees including partnering with The Challenge in the UK to create an apprenticeship program, we have built training programs and succession plans for all staff and there is a very clear growth plan for your career at Jobscience. Our year on year growth shows that customers have faith in the leading recruitment platform on force.com and we believe with this new management structure in place that we will continue to see this growth in years to come. We are building an environment of trust. We are about a respectful work environment where people can express their ideas, have honest discussions and in the end achieve the goal as a team.

Vantaggi

A job is better than no job? Employees are mostly all great people - who just need to escape from there.

Svantaggi

Don't waste your time...wait for the right company to join. Jobscience will use you for every ounce of your time, energy, and more. CEO rules the company like a tyrant, instilling fear in employees with intimidation tactics (that he also tries to teach to any minion who is willing to play along), and he ultimately listens to no one but himself. Lacking a conscience, he treats people like dollar signs at most, giving them little value and respect both personally and professionally. Over the years, the company has probably committed every type of HR violation that exists, many times over (ironically for an HR software company). Jobscience employs the young and impressionable, so it's risky for them to speak up when they're already so severely underpaid. New managers and other C-level execs are often unable to work with CEO and eventually leave, but nothing changes with the core problem. Just don't even apply - you'll regret it eventually, if not in the first couple weeks or after the interview. At least one person has willingly left the company practically every week for the past few months. Apparently CEO goes on witch hunts and personally calls all his former employees to find out who writes these Glassdoor reviews! Absolutely pathetic. It seems unbelievable, but as you can see through all the other reviews - it's all true.
