Pros

There are some really great hard working people holding this company together. The product outlook is actually good if they can execute on the roadmap.

Cons

“This is a startup” is not an excuse for toxic behavior. “I’m German pardon my German” is not an excuse for undermining female leadership in front of their peers, or ranting at individual employees. Go and read the reviews from Datameer, the CEO’s previous company and you’ll see that this behavior is not something new but deeply ingrained traits that he cannot change. He may be technically brilliant but he is a horrible human being. “Do you think my wife reads these Glassdoor reviews? Do you think the board reads these reviews? You’re not hurting me!” This is what he told the entire company late last year in stead of addressing everyone’s concerns and the comments in the multiple negative reviews. 1 sales person hit quota and she is getting slow rolled on her commission payments. Nobody in the US got close to quota in 2022. There’s one solution engineer left in the US and he’s new. There’s one sales leader globally and he is stretched to the limit. Employees are doing what they can with the resources they have to work with despite the big bad wolf trying to blow the house down from the inside out. I’m sorry for the remaining employees I know these reviews don’t help you while you still work there but many prospective employees need to know what they’re walking in to.

It’s unfortunate to hear you had a poor experience. We do take all feedback seriously. We strongly disagree with the picture you’ve painted here, and are happy to discuss this with any prospective applicants. We have many employees here who find work engaging and fulfilling and are inspired by the CEO’s leadership. We are deeply committed to anti-sexism in the workplace - this is a company wide value and championed by the CEO. The women in leadership here all reject your claims of our mistreatment and are proud to work in a company where women leaders have an equal voice at the table.

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.
