Great vision, not-so-great ability to execute

Pros

- Best product on the market - Bright coworkers on some teams - Global team, ambitious vision - Great work/life balance - World-class clients to work with

Cons

- No bottom-up feedback system, Officevibe doesn't nearly do the job, and leaders don't seem to care about feedback from frontline team members. This seems to be the root cause of a lot of issues. - Culture and mood in NY office has been gloomy - Territory management needs big improvements... 6 months to sort out account distribution, poor rollout, and reps are expected to hit quota in the meantime - As an AE or SDR, expect to have severely overworked accounts to be handed to you, and/or accounts that clearly aren't a good fit - Serious misalignment between business development (which until 2019 was compensated for activity goals, not end results) and sales. SDRs having spammy practices and burning bridges with accounts - Employees are terminated silently and unless executives, nothing is mentioned, which affects the overall culture negatively - High employee turnover as shown on the company's LinkedIn page. Average tenure around 1y - Compensation below par with industry levels

Pros

- The product really is the best on the market for what it's meant for. - Most employees are good people and fun to be around

Cons

- Extreme micromanagement being passed down the foodchain from manager to manager. Managers facing extreme pressure and micromanagement from executives, leading them to do the same to their team member to perform, or forcing them to lie to bolster the manager's performance. - Employees are mostly treated like children, as managers do not trust their teams to do their jobs -Career development is almost non-existent, management generally accepts a "chew up and spit out" philosophy - Generally short-sighted decision making from execs, resulting in little to no career growth opportunities and a mostly unhappy workforce turning-over frequently. - Compensation about average, but no equity for any non-execs

Pros

Some of the people are great. The product is decent.

Cons

Management doesn't care about employees and sees them as disposable. Leadership, especially CEO, is inexperienced and immature and the massive amounts of turnover in the company demonstrate that the culture is dysfunctional beyond what most employees are willing to tolerate.

We appreciate hearing your feedback and wish your experience had been more positive at Botify. We work hard to create an environment where people can be heard and feel like they have an opportunity to grow personally & professionally. If we were unable to provide this reviewer that experience, that is hard to hear but ultimately, good feedback to receive so we can do better in the future. And while we think we have a lot of opportunities and excellent employee offerings that make working here great, we are committed to improving when we receive feedback like this. For instance, just this week we launched our first ever Culture Survey - this is to help us understand what we are doing right (so we can keep doing it) and where we need to improve (so we can make positive changes). Through feedback from our employees, we have recently added unlimited professional career coaching for every employee, 3 volunteer days off per year, and new career pathing that we hope will continue to support our employees in their pursuit of personal and professional development.
