High turn over due to poor leadership, lack of vision.

Pros

Engineering working to improve product. Platform could be strong competition in market. Many committed smart people have worked at this company, but, egocentric leadership is killing it.

Cons

Company has lost its sense. Executive team is a click. Officers are leading company backward. Moving HQ to downtown Portland, OR to “attract better talent” backfired. Immediately following move, there were lay-offs to make up for tripling the cost of workspace. The move was a poorly vetted idea which set the company back, but, boosted the egos of a few execs. More lay-offs followed, and recently, closure of satellite offices. Businesses are losing trust in the company’s solidity due to lack of innovation, reductions in customer service, and repeated lay-offs.

Pros

A lot has changed. Hopefully things get better for them but I would say wait until 2020. Free snacks and cool views.

Cons

The list would be way too long. Not recommended. Don’t waste your time. Always one step behind competition. No culture.

Pros

Free snacks and free lunch twice a week, however that free lunch is designed to keep you from leaving your desk

Cons

To many to even write down. This place is legitimately the worst sales job in the software industry. Complete joke. They expect you to work 12 hour days every day. When hired they tell you that you will be a closer, vein set up with many appointments per week from SDRs, great lead flow. Couldn't be further from the truth. Lucky if you get 4 appointments booked for you per month, 100% cold calling. Funny thing is that ActOn is supposed to be a lead generating software!! Yet they can't provide any qualified leads to the sales team, and if they do, they all go to the same few reps. Favoritism is huge here. Worst experience I've ever had. If you are interviewing here please run far far away. They just laid off 40 people a couple months ago. Most of them worked there for less then 6 weeks. Act-on is a miserable place to work stay far far away. This review is barely scratching the surface on the negatives, take my word for it and don't believe any of the 5 star reviews here, they are all obviously written by upper management.
