Vantaggi

If you’re looking for a place to build your career, this probably isn’t it. Especially if you’re a woman who’s outspoken or cares about calling out issues. Promotions mostly go to men, particularly the ones who always agree with whatever the CEO wants. The leadership style is all over the place, and the CEO's mood can change the direction of the whole business (and your job!!) overnight. It makes things feel pretty unstable. That said, it’s not all bad. The projects can be genuinely fun. There used to be some travel involved and good benefits though many of those perks have been reduced over the past year.

Svantaggi

– An unstable work environment – Inexperienced leadership – No clear growth strategy for the business

I would like to add to your comments, and highlight that we have many people who have built careers in Web Summit, from entry level to VP level, including many of our current female leaders in the business, across multiple territories.

Vantaggi

the events and the people are great.

Svantaggi

management is inexperienced. the company is in transition/growth mode and experiencing major growing pains. their track record of ending employee contracts abruptly without warning/reason/notice is insane. in the case of sales, they end all communication once you are out the door and don't pay out commissions owed (?!)

Vantaggi

Struggling to find any, to be fair.

Svantaggi

It's a boys club, and many of the propaganda spewed by the CEO is to use managers as tokens of diversity. Managers are ill-prepared, and will eventually push you out - no matter how well you perform. You will go far if you are a rule follower, but that's about it. The role is one of a call center - you are expected to take on 15-18 meetings a day for 20 minutes each only to be at the bottom of the company. Do not expect to be taken seriously if you are apart of the Startups team. Also, tenure in the company supersedes results.
