Pros

I've been working here a little more than six months, and I'm really happy I chose Zignal. Love all the previously-mentioned perks (food, pets, open office), but the best part of the job is the people you get to work with. There are smart, dedicated, passionate people here, and they're ready to teach if you're willing to learn. This isn't a college start-up where confidence is more abundant than experience. There are people here who've had careers on Wall Street, managed presidential campaigns, designed aerospace data visualizations from scratch. It's mind-blowing.

Cons

Some internal tension between sales and marketing, sales and engineering. Fairly standard stuff, but open communication and collaboration is becoming more standard as the teams grow.

Pros

I don't believe there is a good reason to work here anymore.

Cons

I was disenchanted with leadership when I left a while back. I wanted to write this review then, however I took a breath to be fair...I'm still shocked and appalled by what this company became. Zignal - at one point in time - was one of the companies disrupting the media monitoring (for lack of a better term) industry, forcing the old & stagnant platforms to adjust. We won some huge logos - Accenture, IBM, JPMorgan, Prudential - and had a ton of momentum which out of nowhere seemed to come to a slow. Then within a tight time-frame the head of sales, CRO, and the CEO left, followed by the CTO a bit later. Which was pretty much a bulk of the influential leadership within Zignal. FF to year or so later, for some reason the board gave the keys to the company to the head of Services who is an inexperienced and ineffective leader...the word "leader" used very loosely...and her lacky. Neither of whom was part of any notable account or win or decision made at Zignal, yet they ran the show along with the new CEO, who is as equally ineffective. Accounts are being lost left and right, yet nobody in a leadership role seems to get any blame.
