Vantaggi
It’s a fun industry to be in—I loved having conversations about how to love people better at work. It’s easy to get re-invigorated at a show, presentation, or on a sales call with someone that recognizes the potential impact of helping their team feel seen/heard/appreciated. A great mission and a good product. There are some lovely people there.
Svantaggi
Lip Service is more of a company currency here than “Motivosity Bucks”. There’s a my-way-or-the-highway policy that cascades from the tippy top, and an absolute abandonment of data-driven decision making, at least where sales is concerned. Over a third of the entire US team that was there when I started is now gone—I’m being conservative. That’s not people skipping out on a whim, that’s their passion and commitment to building something worthwhile (for less money, mind you) being crushed slowly out of their hearts. The expectations, goals, and bars for sales were set so far from the current reality that it stirred up anxiety, panic attacks, and mental health episodes for more than one colleague (and myself).
