Pros

Some good people work there, sincere attempts at training being put in place as the company grows

Cons

The only focus is sales..at any cost. Yes, sales are the lifeblood of any commercial enterprise, but Act-On takes this to a new level. Sales calls where customers are essentially lied to are held up as shining examples of good sales people at work for the whole workforce. The fact that the whole company has to sit in on a sales call every quarter says it all.

Pros

Act-on has since been purchased, but my experience was very positive. They were the last standing marketing company to not be gobbled up by a larger corporation. The product was superior to Adobe/Salesforce/Oracle’s and engineering staff super-passionate.

Cons

Executive staff was mainly on a treadmill.

Pros

They offer a partial fitness reimbursement for your gym membership.

Cons

They will say they have modern, progressive values. It’s a deception. When it comes down to it, the only thing they stand for is protecting leadership. Even the company’s bottom line comes second to appeasing senior leaders. This company punishes dissent and tolerates bullying when the perpetrators are friendly with senior leadership. Desperation after years of poor performance have created a toxic environment where leaders cover for their mistakes by isolating and targeting those who disagree with them. Dishonest. The least transparent company I’ve ever worked for. You will hear one thing one day and be told the opposite the next day on your way out the door.
