Pros

-Highly involved C-level leadership that gives 100% transparency to all aspects of the business (growth plans, financials, risks, etc). -Robust training and coaching (much improved in the last 12 months) -Industry-leading product -Extreme work-life balance and unlimited PTO -High performers are recognized and rewarded

Cons

-Given the size of the company, there are occasionally times when you don't have 100% of the resources you need (or are used to if you come from a large enterprise). The team is full of scappy and hard-working folks from all walks of life. -Some recent comp plan changes were not ideal, but the overall sales comp is still very strong. These changes only impacted AE/SE sales teammates. -There are typical growing pains where some teams operate with more or less pace than others, but it seems like everyone is aligned with the overall mission.

Used to be great, going downhill as a place to work

Pros

- Team is good - The tool itself is better than others to work in

Cons

- Frequent changes in management, including directors and executives, lead to a lack of stability and consistency. - Salary increases and promotions fall below industry norms, often necessitating a job change to secure competitive compensation. - Salary raises are predominantly dependent on variable bonuses, which lack transparency as the criteria for these bonuses can be adjusted at will. - Shareholder pressures have resulted in staff reductions, diminished perks, less frequent bonuses, and no cost-of-living adjustments. - Bonus potential is limited, even in profit-generating positions. - The criteria for bonuses are revised each quarter. - There is a significant amount of gaslighting from HR and executive teams. - Previously, the founders would personally communicate layoffs with evident regret and empathy. Now, layoffs are often discovered only days or weeks later, with people or entire teams being let go without any prior announcement or acknowledgement.

Lots of internal movement

Pros

CaptivateIQ has a great culture of really competent people and workers. The org has always been great at hiring talented and driven individuals. Great benefits and a rather casual work environment which is really nice.

Cons

Within the last year, there has been a lot of internal movement and change in leadership, processes, and direction that's jaded a lot of the talented people that are left. Lack of communication between teams when changes are made often creates conflict.
