Pros

It was a great stepping stone career-wise. Great opportunity to establish relationships with clients in different industries.

Cons

I left this company after several years of seeing the same old story: "we're doing everything we can, we're working on it". I started with Abila, and Community Brands' acquisition was the starting point of the company's spiraling downfall. All I kept seeing were more and more acquisitions (some were very obviously multi-million dollar deals), meanwhile CB paint a picture that revenue is suffering throughout the pandemic although quarterly reviews show they're doing just fine. 401k benefits were obliterated. Backfilling of lost staff takes way too long. and my team fell apart after my leave; at least 4 other very valuable employees left shortly after I did. Pay needs needs to be bumped up across the scale from starting to senior level (excluding upper management) pay.

Momentive Software Response
4y
Hi, I am the CEO and yes, I read every Glassdoor review and initial the ones to which I personally respond. I do not ask anyone to leave reviews and have made it clear to this organization that we will never pressure people to do so. We go so far as to make sure senior leaders avoid even casually mentioning leaving a review because that could be perceived as pressure due to the power dynamic. If someone applies pressure, I want to know about it and we will counsel that behavior - that's how strongly we feel about doing this right. We're thrilled with our revenue growth and have been making investments throughout the company accordingly. This includes investments in our people, with a third of the company receiving promotions or off-cycle salary increases in recognition of their performance. We've also awarded substantial spot bonuses to a third of the company (with some overlap with the promotions, but not a lot). No question but staffing is challenging right now for all tech companies and we continue to expand our recruiting capacity. They've done a great job with the team mentioned - it's a strong team and I appreciate their work every day. I wish you'd hung around to see it. The 401K match was reinstated in January with both an improved match and lower fee investment options. Something to think about as you are looking at M and A - those are real people that come and work at this company. They contribute both to their prior business and become part of this team with all their talent and experience. They aren't distractions. This isn't fluff. SL, CEO

Pros

- The product was pretty good a well-liked by customers - Solid work/life balance - Every holiday under the sun was PTO

Cons

- Leadership did nothing when issues were brought to their attention and empty promises became the norm. - Unfair lead distribution and favoritism across the board, - Base pay is absurdly low for a closing role and is far less than most SDR roles start at. Makes me wonder how little Momentive is paying their actual BDR/SDRs. - Not possible self-source the pipeline coverage needed to make quota given the low deal size and transactional nature of the sale. - So many executive leadership changes it became hard to keep up. The latest iteration is completely out of touch and more serve as mouth-pieces for TA.
