Pros

Good people to work with, but they're under pressure due to mismanagement

Cons

The company culture has taken a significant downturn due to mismanagement by a high-level executive whose leadership approach has created a climate of fear and insecurity. Many in lower management are now afraid to voice concerns or challenge decisions, worrying that it could impact their job security. This reluctance to push back has allowed poor decisions to go unchallenged, damaging team morale and overall performance. Once known for its supportive and collaborative environment, the company has shifted to a place where employees feel overworked, undervalued, and increasingly disconnected from their work

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.
