Like working amongst 13 year old middle schoolers - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso ReadyTalk

Freindly folks and a relaxed vibe

None that I can think of

ReadyTalk seems to be a lifestyle company - as evidenced by the fact that 4/5 senior leaders founded the company 13 years ago and are still around. Health benefits are 100% paid for employees and their families. The company spends a LOT of money on perks - covering race entry fees, tons of groceries, kegs in the kitchen, random swag. It'd be easy to be a lifer - provided you're comfortable just doing the same thing for years and getting just a COLA+ salary adjustment year over year.

See above - this is a lifestyle company. If you have a lot of ambition or want to see your career develop, you will probably have to leave. The Execs have been running the show for years and don't seem to have any succession plan in place. Sure, the CEO is super healthy and fit, but when he said last year that his exit strategy was death.... what does that mean for the rest of his 180 employees? The corporate strategy and product roadmap seem to change with the wind, which can be frustrating and unempowering. Management and HR push a lot of books on strategy and respecting and developing people, but it's not consistently practiced by the most senior executives. "Professional development" is pretty well a joke, and performance evaluations don't exist. There's very little incentive to be a top performer.
