Pros

The product is a legitimately good product. The support team is also extremely adept and does some of the best customer support in the industry.

Cons

Vista acquired LM and basically ruined it. The company I joined had keggers, a relaxed atmosphere, great sales performance, and lots of potential. By the time I left I was immensely relieved to be rid of the stress of working there, and I had one of the easier jobs! Despite already being a lean company, cost cutting was taken to a whole new level. They're hiring huge numbers of people but at a cut rate; they pay between 25-40% below market rate. Mostly they are taking advantage of younger people who don't know any better. They also quietly removed all the perks that made the place tolerable. As others have pointed out the compensation plans are horrible. My manager fought valiantly just to get us a comp plan that wouldn't take money out of our pockets. The targets they gave the team were very unrealistic - I never saw a quarter where we exceeded quota, and most of the time we were very close to decelerators - you read that right, they put DECELERATORS in the comp plans. You'll be fought every time you try to take time off, accused of faking illness when you're actually sick, and generally abused. Take the advice I wish I could have given to the poor saps I saw being interviewed in our offices - RUN.

Dear Former Team Member, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We strongly believe in continuous growth and improvement, and are so appreciative of the time you’ve taken to share your experiences. I’m happy to hear that you believe we have a good product. It really is incredible, and our rapid growth is an indication that many others have seen that, too. Thank you as well for noting the strength of our customer support team. One of our core pillars is “Customer Obsessed” and a significant component of that is to have a support team that is able to care for, understand, and resolve any issues that come their way. We are nothing without the amazing people and teams that use LogicMonitor, and to show them how much we care is everything. We are also nothing without the amazing team members that make LogicMonitor who we are –a collection of unique individuals bringing their differences to create an environment and product that is truly impactful. I’m sorry to hear that you feel like you left a different company than you joined, and that many of the reasons you loved working here seem to have diminished. Sustaining the culture that we are so proud of – one of support, ownership, challenge, and safety – has always been, and will always be our priority through rapid growth. Our executive, management, and HR teams work incredibly hard to ensure that our compensation plans are aligned with market, are fair, and attainable, that you are supported when ill, and have a safe avenue to report any concerns about your environment. As is in any high growth situation, we are moving fast, and change is inevitable, providing incredible opportunities for those here to expand their skillsets and impact change. The care of our team members is always something we want to ensure remains consistent, and we take great attention and pride in ensuring that it is our priority. I’m sorry to hear this wasn’t your experience, and I’d love an opportunity to chat with you about some of the details you noted above to ensure we understand your feedback better and are able to resolve any concerns you have. I wish you nothing but the best of luck with your next opportunity, and thank you for contributing to LogicMonitor’s success while you were here. We are grateful! Best regards, Emily Long VP of People Operations

Pros

Supportive and knowledgeable coworkers who genuinely want to help you succeed. Strong benefits package, remote flexibility, and wellness perks. Opportunities to take on projects outside your core responsibilities and accelerate your growth. A fast-paced environment where you can learn a lot in a short time. Leadership encourages innovation and continuous improvement.

Cons

Frequent organizational changes and shifting priorities can create uncertainty. Communication between teams and leadership isn't always consistent. Processes are still evolving, so some workflows can feel unclear or change frequently. Work-life balance can vary depending on the team and business needs.
