Innovation handicapped by greedy shareholders and execs

Pros

-Bright colleagues in many departments -Comp is slightly above average -Benefits have gotten better (401K match(4%), paternity(12wks)) -Convenient location in FiDi -One of the best SEO softwares that innovate -Company tries to change and improve culture but it's not working.

Cons

Botify has really been on a downhill spiral since the Series B funding. Growth at all costs has shot down morale across the teams, more so in the NYC with key members that built out the culture/teams leaving in droves. COVID-19 accelerated some of that unbalanced expectations of the company when pay cuts were introduce with pay cuts ranging from 9% to 18%. Exec teams by most standards took a low pay cut. For instance, the CEO, with large ownership of the company still took the same range pay cut as others who make significantly less and have no ownership at all. That is likely why they most recently announced equity for all employees, albeit very little. There was a small stipend of $482 (exact) for work from home equipment. But limited to only specific equipment. Those who wanted desks, chairs, etc were not allowed since we had to return the equipment if an employee left. Company tries to be "transparent" but doesn't actually provide transparency when it comes to things like pay cuts, equity, revenue forecasts and goals, and how/why some decisions are made. The company is not able to be transparent when it's the tough topics to talk about. Going as far as to call individuals out when asking a tough question in an "anonymous" Q&A.

Disarray, power struggles, and greed

Pros

Besides the exec team, employees across many departments are great. Smart, hardworking, and willingness to help. The tool is great and makes it easy to sell. Office environment is relaxed and casual.

Cons

Company has been in disarray after the recent round of funding. Struggling hard to meet goals and hiring qualified individuals. Deals are slower to come by and reliant on big whales. Office culture is poor. Passive aggressive leadership. Micromanage culture. Benefits are not great. No equity, no 401k match, few holidays. 20 PTO days is ok I guess? That includes sick, personal. Execs all trying to get their bonus and commission and chopping at each other. Employee turnover is high. Rule by fear is real in this company.

Pros

the product is great. co-workers are generally great.

Cons

this company is highly dysfunctional, and most of it stems from the exec team. impossible demands, miscommunication, and just kind of a miserable work environment. micro-management galore. it's a shame, because the product is great. I doubt the company will stay around long with the mismanagement. don't take a job here. there are a million startups in NYC.
