Not a good place to work...

Pros

-The ground level employees are great along with most of middle management. -The platform also has a ton of unrealized potential. -Pay/benefits seem to be mostly competitive in comparison to the rest of the market.

Cons

-The CEO is a micro manager who often does not treat people with the respect they deserve. The rank and file employees, to him, are just a means to an end and readily expendable. -Many of the people who work here are doing just enough to get by because their only motivation is fear of losing their job. -The product is very unstable and the marketing sometimes dips its' toes into the realm of overpromising on capabilities. -Lots of lofty ideas about the company's direction with nothing to back them up. -Unhappy employees who are reaching their breaking point and leaving the company. You can see this from the regular emails that go out on Fridays about people's departures. -No real diversity to speak of.

Pros

It's a very "Start-up" feel, which I personally like, but if fast paced isnt your thing, then you can add this to cons. The service/software itself is actually pretty cool and can help literally ANY business and person. Dont be fooled by the janky name, its a powerful tool.

Cons

Zero transparency, lies, incest, power struggles with management, compensation is bull as well. They like to make you think they are competitive, but when I was searching elsewhere, almost EVERY other company paid quite a bit more than SurveyGizmo. After leaving, I was told about some commission and pay issues, multiple people being cheated out of money - I had my suspicions about my own which is why I left. Also making half the sales team reach insurmountable goals to avoid actually paying them out.

One of the best things about working for SurveyGizmo is that our employees can take initiative and make a difference for the company. We recognize that our name, which helped us grow for so many years, no longer reflects the power and capabilities that our software provides. The rest of this post is difficult to address. The key point that I would like to address is about transparency – and we are receiving fantastic feedback from employees about transparency and communication right now. -David Roberts, CEO
