Pros
Atmosphere/Employees- There is no work environment and better group of employees than that at Izenda. The employees of Izenda are passionate about the software offered and work extremely hard to not only meet but exceed their goals. At the same time, they have fun doing it with the help of a casual atmosphere. Everyone is friends with each other and often times team lunches and/or other activities are scheduled outside of business hours. Upper management is extremely approachable and they truly value your success and happiness. Employees interact with the VP's and CEO on a daily basis who happy to assist you in any way possible. Upper management creates a low-stress, laid back environment. Growth Potential/Career Opportunities- Although the company is rather small (approx. 40 employees) the company is growing. The sales team has grown from a 4 person team to 7 within 2 months. With that being said, your expectations are clearly outlined, you are given a chance to perform, and you know your exact path to success/a promotion. Learning abilities/communication- There are weekly meetings to maintain and continue knowledge on the embedded reporting solution offered. Meetings are also held to review performance and create strategies in effort to drive sales and success. Training program- Changing roles and coming from a non-technical background can create a learning curve that may be very difficult initially. Employees who have been with the company for a longer period of time tend to use acronyms and high-tech terms that may not be understood by some employees. However, as with any career, this does change as time goes on. Within a few weeks you will feel more comfortable and will probably learn more in your first few days at this company than months-years at others. You are not "thrown to the wolves" at Izenda. Goals are reasonably created, and you are given time to perform. Others- Employees have the potential to work flex hours and wear casual clothing. The CEO also purchases Einstein bagels for the employees every Friday. Health insurance is paid for by the company. The company is located near Perimeter mall and Marta.
Cons
Izenda is a fast-paced, dynamic environment. This is certainly NOT a con, but to be transparent, you must be ready for change, and change often. You must be ready to think on your feet, accept constructive criticism, and have fun in a laid back atmosphere while understanding the expectations laid out for you.
