Pros

Flexible working hours, recreational room with board games and a table tennis, fruits and free lunch once a week...

Cons

A complete lack of the company vision. Most work is around proof of concepts and observing the reaction of prospective/existing customers, without any global strategy and/or a road map. Little thinking is also going into the core product engineering. Much work is spent on non-sense features. The moto of the company "Sell, no matter what". Management is also non-technical and clueless about the latest technology and software engineering theory/practice. The overall product success is measured in how beautiful the UI is, not how unique or complex the underlying technology is. Scalability issues are never discussed. Engineering talent has a low retention rate, which must be seriously addressed.

Bigtincan Response

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you recognise the strong flexible working practices that are in place at Bigtincan, but realise from your review that not everything in your 3 years at the company was perfect. The good news is that we are listening to the team, we are currently working together on our culture and values and how to better articulate our vision, mission and purpose. We have already made further investment in our PM team and taken action to improve the communication of our product strategy. It is true that our company is focused on design, as it is important to us and our customers. We have a fabulous tech team with a great depth of experience, both from hiring directly, and through merger and acquisition, and they are working with us to ensure we have a great place to work both from a cultural and tech perspective. If you would like to speak to me directly on your feedback please do reach out.

Pros

Coming from an acquisition I was a bit nervous but the Bigtincan team was very welcoming and quickly found a place for me on a stellar sales team. 1. My manager always makes time for me as I work through my deals. 2. My team is collaborative and helped accelerate my onboarding by letting me ride shotgun on some of their deals. 3. A dedicated sales enablement team upskills me on product knowledge, messaging, roadmap and strategy. 4. Access to all levels of leadership.

Cons

Slightly different deal cycle and renewal process than the company I came from which took some getting used to but was a non-issue.

Pros

Great colleagues. Vector started off positively fixing things that needed to be fixed.

Cons

Lots of managers flitting about having lots of meetings without progress or any discernible plan. We are desperate for someone to lead from the front. No clear direction or path to success - just fear of Vector making more cuts. Tough to do your best work in that environment when nobody feels wanted.
