The interview process was the standard phone screens followed by a number of onsite interviews. While the company looks great from the outside, I'd strongly recommend passing if you're looking at a marketing role. There are a number of red flags.
They fired the VP of Marketing earlier this year, despite what appeared to be a stellar performance. You should be able to find her on LinkedIn. All but one person avoided the question when I asked why they let her go. He said it was because one of their partners, a trash hauler, didn't like her messaging. While I believe that to be true, it hardly seems sufficient to fire a star performer.
I also learned at the onsite interview that they were planning to reorganize marketing into the constituent departments, e.g. PR, demand gen, content, and have them all separately report to the head of Sales. While that approach is obviously bad for such a company for a number of legitimate marketing reasons, it's also horrible for existing staff morale as well as attracting future marketing staff. Not surprisingly, I found out that much of this plan had not been communicated to the current marketing staff. Nonetheless, there are some indications that one or two of the current staff have a foot out the door already.
While the company currently has a strong market position, due to the gross price gouging by the big players in the space, they admit there is a clear limit insight and it is fast approaching. They are hardly 'disrupting' trash, they simply act as a broker to offer a lower price. Without any other value proposition, the big players in the space will ultimately win as they can lower price further as they have no brokerage overhead. As I mentioned this assessment is theirs, not mine, but I certainly agree. They admit they need to figure it out fast.
What baffles me is twofold. First that they are pouring so many resources in to the Sales tactics of the current model, at the sake of Marketing which could actually provide some strategic direction for the future. And second that the investors didn't do their due diligence to uncover these issues!
