Pros

Really great people Really great product

Cons

Really poor Executive Leadership CEO manages by fear and is proud of it CEO does not empower his executive team to be successful CEO has an ego that is working toward the demise of ON24 I worked for ON24 for a number of years and was let go recently in the latest round of company lay-offs....stuff happens and I understand. I received a package that was fair so no complaints and after contemplating the job loss, I looked back on the company to realize it is dysfunctional and I was living and contributing to the dysfunction for some many years by not saying anything. How does a company survive with a leader (CEO) who can not communicate well, who has no direction or a clue on how to move forward, who thinks the way to get results from his team is to scare the hell out of them. I've never met a more egotistical person that would allow such high turn over continue in his/her company without taking a step back to assess what is going on. If you are considering this company, I encourage you pause, really interview the team, ask the hard questions, read the GD posting and make an informed decision. Some have achieved great success with ON24 and have had great experiences, but it was in-spite of the CEO's issues

Cons

Really have nothing negative to say about this role, at most the onboarding could be a bit more streamlined
