Without a doubt the worst type of company to work for

Pros

Some really nice, good colleagues. Oh, and the ability to "hide" and not work on the bad days (which is a lot) because your boss is never around... nor cares because they are leaving or getting pushed out or hiding themselves or in a meeting talking about all the problems that will never get fixed! Happy hours every other week to "mask" all the garbage you deal with daily but that trick is getting old. Israel doesn't work Fridays so as a US employee you have summer Fridays all year round!

Cons

Bob is a dysfunctional train wreck with everything painted in a big picture, game changing, market disruptor narrative. Visit the website and you’ll see “grow your people”, and “empower your people, the global HR platform that puts individual employee growth front and center”. This couldn’t be any further from the truth. Empowered people are pushed out, employee growth equals thrown into the fire without a plan, and only thing growing is people tired of the BS. The management style and lack of accountability has placed good employees in a sweatshop with goals very few hit and have little incentive of achievement. Any issues are minimized as startup problems. Those "startup problems" become bigger problem because Israel leadership refuses to fix any of them... but that's labeled as a "cultural" thing. The fact that this is a company selling HR engagement and retainment software is laughable. The amount of turnover they have faced in such little time is horrifying and that's both NY and London.

Pros

the people on my immediate team. smart, talented, killer sales people all around.

Cons

The entire US venture has been one giant question mark. Leadership in Tel Aviv is completely disconnected from the US employees and never fully collaborated or provided the resources to be successful. Every questionnaire or sales ask was always handled with complete mediocrity from the leadership team and was frankly too embarrassing to continue trying to make this product viable. Additionally every hire on the US sales team was bait and switched and now Bob is facing rapid attrition, the very issue they claim to solve for other fast growing companies. Overall the least qualified company to be solving HR challenges, given their struggles with not only the US venture, but also the UK venture (also faced rapid attrition).

Pros

-Great team in US office -Product/market fit -Benefits

Cons

Lack of support for sales team makes their jobs unnecessarily difficult. Feedback is actively discouraged, and telling reps to "put your head down and grind" whenever they raise questions on process and strategy isn't the way to motivate your people.
