Pros

As another reviewer mentioned, Jobscience is not for the 9-5 clock punchers out there; instead, it both breeds and requires absolute love and dedication of the company. Those that thrive here are self-motivated, creative, and insanely smart. Poor attitudes and laziness won't cut it here, so be prepared to work with the best group of people you've ever met- hands down. Give it your all, the Jobscience will take care of you. I'm certain the bad reviews on here are from former employees that just can't function in this highly-unstructured environment. If you need lots of handholding, this is not the place for you. However, if you thrive on change, rapid iteration, and collaboration, this is for you! Something about this company gets under your skin and really makes you want to work your butt off to see it succeed. Plus, you're working on Salesforce, which is great in every way, and the culture is fun, modern, and friendly. The workday goes by quickly!

Cons

The above said...Jobscience likes to change direction too quickly. We have little focus, and the scattered product design and lack of UX testing shows it. Those comments noting that a lot of time is spent placating customers or trying to explain away the product's "quirks" ring true, and it gets old fast. Rather than address these problems, the company either "band-aids" or just ignores them- often in favor of some new, half-baked feature full of its own set of issues. Employees end up paying for it in time and stress, yet nothing seems to change. You know the old Einstein quote..."Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Be prepared to bang your head on your desk and fight unnecessary fires. I'd call this "growing pains," but we're not a new company and we're not growing that rapidly. We just don't learn.

Pros

A job is better than no job? Employees are mostly all great people - who just need to escape from there.

Cons

Don't waste your time...wait for the right company to join. Jobscience will use you for every ounce of your time, energy, and more. CEO rules the company like a tyrant, instilling fear in employees with intimidation tactics (that he also tries to teach to any minion who is willing to play along), and he ultimately listens to no one but himself. Lacking a conscience, he treats people like dollar signs at most, giving them little value and respect both personally and professionally. Over the years, the company has probably committed every type of HR violation that exists, many times over (ironically for an HR software company). Jobscience employs the young and impressionable, so it's risky for them to speak up when they're already so severely underpaid. New managers and other C-level execs are often unable to work with CEO and eventually leave, but nothing changes with the core problem. Just don't even apply - you'll regret it eventually, if not in the first couple weeks or after the interview. At least one person has willingly left the company practically every week for the past few months. Apparently CEO goes on witch hunts and personally calls all his former employees to find out who writes these Glassdoor reviews! Absolutely pathetic. It seems unbelievable, but as you can see through all the other reviews - it's all true.
