Flock reviews

All you need to know about the sales culture at Flock is the best rep who hit 300% in Texas, who presented at the all company flock forward event, couldn't even last a full 6 months in a NY territory and bounced! You could be an all star rep, and if you are not lucky enough to be handed a territory in TX, CA, GA or FL, you have 0% chance of hitting quota. Total company, maybe 20% at best, is hitting quota this year. Sales Middle Management is completely out of touch, no direction, dont do this only to be told to do this 2 months later. Not one has ever sold the product, zero help on deals. They praise and highlight TX and CA deals as if the success was indivudal contributor driven. Add in some good micro management, boilerroom environment, no room for growth or advancement, and there you have it. Marketing is helpless in the onslaught of constant bad publicity or generating actual leads. More major cities are being pressured to axe their flock cameras because marketing cant get the truth out to the public! No 401k match!

The Flock of today is unrecognizable from the one I joined a few years ago. I’m sure Garrett would say that’s a good thing, and it’s true that there has been a lot of top line growth. But from a work culture perspective, this transformation has been for the worse. Org changes are rampant. Newly hired and promoted leaders are neurotic and work obsessed; 3 a.m. email chains and working through weekends / PTO are increasingly the norm. Teams are also getting leaner as fewer backfills are approved, so everyone is stretched extremely thin. Leaders also openly and gleefully discuss using AI to put whole teams of people out of a job. It’s sickening the way they talk about it. If layoffs aren’t in the works right now, they’re certainly coming soon, and it seems like nothing would make people happier. More and more, I struggle to produce my best work for a company that seems motivated to drive me to burnout and then replace me. My team is working at least 10-15 hours per week more than when I joined, and it’s been a steady creep upward over time. As much as I love the mission, I see the writing on the wall here and it won’t be sustainable much longer. (Plus no 401k match, no bonus, casual sexism at all levels of the org but especially in leadership)
