Vantaggi

Great office location downtown. Amenities like food and drink, gym membership, the normal stuff you’d expect at a tech company in Austin.

Svantaggi

Marc (CEO) is just about the worst person to be leading a company. He does not care about his staff, is incredibly cheap, and loves the fact that he can fire people like he always wanted to in Germany but couldn’t. It’s funny, I’ve spoken to several execs in Austin that have met/worked with him and almost every one of them said something negative about their experience with him. Also, who buys from mobile apps if it’s not Amazon? Really think about it for a second. Most customers are not successful on our platform. It’s a nice to have. We’re losing clients like crazy and reviews about us are terrible. Stay away, most companies in Austin that know Shopgate know that it’s a bad joke. Side note: the company routinely asks employees to post good reviews of the work environment on Glassdoor, Built In Austin, Best Places to Work, and so forth and then spiffs people for doing so. I would know, I’ve posted a “good” review on here because I was asked to. Be careful what you trust.

Vantaggi

I have been at Shopgate for the past year, one of the best career years of my life. Here are 5 reasons why: 1. We have the stability of a mature, global, well-funded company with the thrill of forging a new path as an Austin start-up. 2. Our growth has been incredible. With growth always comes organizational changes, but the company has handled those well and always taken good care of employees. 3. I am inspired to prioritize and do the work that provides the most business impact. And I’m supported with the resources needed to succeed. 4. Shopgate’s leadership is unmatched. Marc Biel, our CEO, has been rock solid at leading the charge and building the US efforts from scratch. 5. Standard start-up pros: snacks, beer, cold-brew on tap, valet parking, vibrant energetic office, catered lunches, company events, t-shirts, lots of swag All of the above reasons, make it so easy to get out of bed in the morning and walk into the office with a huge smile, ready to work with my team and take on the day. I look forward to years of continued personal and company growth at Shopgate.

Svantaggi

It's a start-up. There are few process and we're still growing our tech stack. More than likely you have to create new process and figure out how to make things tick. Be willing to iterate when you figure out what works and what doesn't. If you want a simple, cookie cutter gig, Shopgate is not for you. If you have ideas and drive, you'll love it here.
