Pros

Most people I work with care about the effort that they're putting into what they do. It's invigorating to have a culture that gets things done. I feel like I can go to anyone and propose something and we'd be working on it quickly even across departments. They definitely succeed with the hiring, since most people are extremely friendly and I think no one feels isolated at their desk. It's an honor that I can be a part of a company that has such a bright future. I want to help actively shape their success.

Cons

There could be more all company events to encourage more interaction. It's just a personal opinion, since I enjoy learning about the people that I work with.

Well hello there! There are so many parts in this post that stand out but my favorite two, "I want to help actively shape their success." and "I genuinely feel like they care about me." You showcased two of our core values, dependability and community, and am glad you feel it. Each and every day our team has the ability to help shape success for our company and I hope you have continued to have chances to do so and feel your impact. If you want even more, please partner with HR to figure out specific initiatives or programs you can try! Regarding a "buddy system," good thinking! As a matter of fact, next week we will be launching a true buddy/mentorship program with some additional opportunities for people to connect outside the office to help cultivate relationships amongst different departments. Please check it out and let us know if this is what you were thinking! Thank you for the suggestions, we appreciate it. HR Director Sharpen

Pros

Sharpen is a small company with big experience. They have great people with years of experience in the CX arena. They believe in what they do! Consistent with the industry they serve, they place customer experience at the center of everything they do and everything they create. They pride themselves on an employee first/customer first orientation and it shows. Sharpen was recently acquired, and the company that invested in them (Teleo) embraces their same culture and orientation. Besides bringing new ideas and perspective, Teleo also brings investment money to the table. This is already proving fruitful with a handful of fast contributing new executives and complementary technology acquisitions. Sharpen is already a great company, but is poised to do many more great things moving forward.

Cons

A con to some, Sharpen is a David in a sea of Goliaths. They are surrounded by a number of extremely large and highly recognized players in the space. Thus, they struggle early for name recognition. That said, once they get in front of a prospect their experience and their technology speaks for itself. Secondly, due to circumstances beyond their control (prior to 2019), Sharpen has struggled to obtain investment capital. With the acquisition and Teleo investment, that situation has been totally corrected.

Pros

There really isn't any pros here. They try and lure you with equity options that are worthless.

Cons

You will get laid off and worked so hard with a skeleton crew. This is probably the worst company I've ever worked for.
