Pros

When I got hired here, I loved this job. It had everything I wanted. A standing desk, a break room with company snacks and drinks provided, scooters to scoot on, ping pong, chess, bean bags, etc. Everyone here was open and honest. If something happened, the company would know about it an hour later, no rumors. The people working here were super nice, (managers and colleagues) and the pay was great. The benefits were instant, I got them from day one. Hours were amazing, my manager worked with me if I needed anything. And there was room for advancement, so I heard. -Good Benefits (Medical, Dental, 401k, Vision, fitness reimbursement, public transportation reimbursement) -Instant PTO -Break room snacks -Scooters, ping pong, chess, beanbags -Amazing team to work with -Wonderful area -Spacious office

Cons

After about a month or two working here, they laid off 60 people with nor warning. An email for a mandatory meeting and hour before, and then 10 minutes to get your stuff and leave. People who have been there for years got laid off, and people who have been there for a short time got laid off, simply because they were 'new'. All because Sales couldn't meet their quota. -Horrible planning techniques by upper management -Training was only 2-3 weeks to learn the entire software -Job security (Anyone could get laid off)

Thank you for taking the time to write this review and provide your perspective. I value communication and have been trying to create a culture of transparency and collaboration in a fun work environment. It’s never easy to make these types of decisions. Please know that this was not a decision that we took lightly. I recognize that it impact people's lives and their careers. And I’m sorry that this impacted you so early in your tenure at Act-On.

Where Talent and Passion Go to Die

Pros

Great healthcare benefits. Catered meals 4x per week, loaded kitchen, holidays, sick pay and PTO is ok, and occasional office mixers.

Cons

Heavy handed management who lack professionalism, product knowledge, customer or employee insight. Lateral working relationships are mediocre at best. There are integrity issues with sales department who over promise and under deliver with no accountability. Processes are created and ordered on the fly without consideration of sustainability or other implications. Pay scale is not even close to competitive- with no sign of improving. Non-qualified personnel offering marketing advice to customer base. No innovation, anywhere. Extremely high turnover.
