Pros

Previous reviews on this site get one thing right, there have been some amazingly talented people that have worked here and employees are given a lot of freedom to find a way to succeed.

Cons

Unfortunately most of the talent that was lured here has left, been forced out, or let go. There have been major issue on the product side from day one that seemed to never be fixed, customer churn plagued the company, and turnover was constant. Most of the original founding team and initial hires are gone, which in a startup is a major red flag.

Sorry that your time here didn't work out as you planned. We very much appreciate you commending the talent at the company. While many of the founders are not day to day (which is normal at high growth companies) they are still here every week and otherwise very involved. The product team is the strongest it has ever been completing the highest amount of release cycles and the customer growth has been phenomenal. Every company has gone through growth pains but I would invite you to come see all that has taken place recently. We are always happy to see alumna in our office

Pros

The main reason I enjoyed my time at Insightpool was the people - everyone's incredibly motivated, kind, and passionate about the company. It is a great working environment that has very challenging work while maintaining a (mostly) stress-free and fun atmosphere. The hectic schedule and ever-changing responsibilities that come with a startup may be a turn off to some. However, it was a perfect fit for me as everything felt so much less mundane and way more exciting than a standard job.

Cons

Atlanta traffic is really bad, that's really the only negative I have

Pros

My coworkers - The company is filled with intelligent, creative, and hardworking people. It's apparent from Day 1, that the people who are successful here work hard for themselves (they are naturally driven), for their team (they build others up, and they're quick to offer help), and for the company (they know they are a part of building something big). Access to upper management - I personally know and have spent time with everyone in the company regardless of their title. Company Culture - We make it a priority to get to know each other. There's at least one social event a month. Everyone is inclusive. We celebrate wins - These could be big celebrations or they could be small celebrations. They could be company celebrations or they could be individual celebrations. They could be career related celebrations (for example - workiversaries) or just general life celebrations (birthdays, bridal showers, etc.). If you're motivated by awards and rewards, you'll really enjoy this aspect of the company.

Cons

You will not be happy here: if you're driven mostly by money, if you're uncomfortable with change, or if you expect 9-5 hours. There are days when half of the company is at the office past 7. But there are also days when most of the company leaves before 5. It just depends. We're also making transitions constantly. Every two weeks there's a new face in the office or a new process put in place or a new role responsibility, etc. Some people thrive off of change, and some people really dislike it. You just have to know what type of person you are, and then take this into consideration when applying here.
