Is this your company?

Still a number of good employees, but management is unfocused, attrition is high, and equity is worthless - Anonymous employee Marin Software Employee Review

Pros

Good coworkers, nice location, decent pay & benefits, reasonable work life balance

Cons

Management lacks focus, every quarter there's a completely new (and unrealistic) strategy for trying to hit profitability. While founders have all been pushed out, there's a clear detrimental imprint that's been left on the company. The level of micromanagement was so high under them that now there's a pervasive feeling of helplessness, inaction and heavy handed bureaucracy. This has resulted in extremely high attrition rates across all orgs. The poor stock valuation makes for a very weak equity play for both current and prospective employees.

It seems you rank our total compensation to be very competitive in addition to providing work-life balance. Today we are offering RSU’s for most positions and constantly reviewing low performers while giving them a chance to improve prior letting people go which is the right thing to do. We just signed an agreement with a vendor to provide management training to be launched soon. More to come in terms of changes with how we develop our employees. More good news is our San Francisco office is undergoing a massive remodel. Looking forward to seeing our new look.
