Pros

Some talented co-workers that make great efforts to build camaraderie and a good work culture.

Cons

-Incompetent CEO and sales leadership that is short tempered and loves micro managing. Employees have been berated over very minor things and there’s a very short leash to being productive before you’re let go. -Product doesn’t work as advertised and seems there’s a lot of delusion from leadership on how good it is. Customers aren’t happy and many evaluations lead to prospects finding out down the line it didn’t work the way we would tell them it would. Struggling big time with sales and rather than focus on making sure the product is feasible, sales gets the bulk of the blame for customers not wanting to expand on moving forward with a product that was presented as a pipe dream. There’s a reason this product hasn’t made it on third party analyst reports where others in the same space of similar size have. -Lots of finger pointing internally which continues to lead to a lot of turnover across engineering and sales. Many talented employees get fired and a lot of others have left after realizing the company is not well run. -No draw offered for sales directors joining — rather you get 2x commission for anything you close in the first 6 months which even the CEO has stated is unrealistic in all hands calls. In my time there no rep closed a deal within their first 6 months and a few even got fired within that time period with no warning and only two weeks severance. This is against the standard for the vast majority of reputable tech sales roles.

We appreciate your input - it helps us to understand areas where we need to communicate better. Having worked at many small and large companies, I can assure you that product development is an ongoing process. We are always happy to answer questions from employees about how the product works and provide demonstrations. We offer multiple feedback channels and wish we could have addressed some of your concerns in real time. Automation Hero’s platform has been validated by many third party analysts, high level CIO/CTO’s and many system integrators, all that have confirmed it is an amazing solution that is solving a major need in the marketplace. Most significant is that we have heard directly from our customers that they want to expand use cases with us because of the value they are getting. We are a data driven company and we do use analytics tools and our CRM system to closely gauge pipeline activity and respond accordingly - for some, this can be misconstrued as “micromanagement,” but it’s very typical in successful organizations. Many of our sales people Again, we are always happy to discuss the reasoning behind our decisions and wish we could have had a conversation about this directly. We thank you for your time at Automation Hero and we wish you all the best in your career.

Pros

It's a hot market, especially with the growing interest around ChatGPT. There's a lot of opportunity for growth - even in an economic downturn, companies will be looking for ways to cut operational spending or find new revenue streams, which automation, AI and document processing can all help with. As a relatively small company, we all have the ability to directly contribute to Automation Hero's growth and success. It's incredibly rewarding to see your contributions at work and know that you're making a difference. My colleagues are very smart and driven, which makes it fun to collaborate with and work alongside. It's super cool to work with people from all over the world with incredible experience that they're bringing to the table.

Cons

It's a fast-paced environment but that's typical of any startup. If anything, I have been challenged to constantly innovate and think outside the box. We're competing against companies that have more resources and brand recognition, but we're relatively new on the scene. I think of this more of an opportunity to show the market why they should pay attention to us. Plus, we're still nimble and can react faster to market changes, customer input, etc. as we don't have all of the red tape that bigger companies have.

"As a relatively small company, we all have the ability to directly contribute to Automation Hero's growth and success. It's incredibly rewarding to see your contributions at work and know that you're making a difference." This quote really illustrates what we hear often - people at Automation Hero like to have an impact! Thank you for the specific feedback and descriptions you offered. We also hear that the transparency this company has is very unique - many employees say they have never worked at a company with this level of transparency. We take it seriously that everyone here is an adult and can handle hearing the truth - we believe that transparency is also an invitation to dig in and maintain our areas of strengths and collectively fix areas of struggle.
