Pros

Plenty of friends work in old school environments, but this is surely not one of them. Insightpool has one of the more exciting cultures in town. The extra hours you put in are worth it when you're able to see the personal impact you have on a weekly basis at a startup. The startup experience can full of ups & downs, but when you're in it with people you enjoy being around, it makes for a really fun experience. On top of that, Insightpool is a unique software in the social media world so it was always gratifying to get the product in front of marketers and watch them light up at the possibilities. I grew leaps & bounds during my time at Insightpool, and if you're one to value learning through experience, you'll be exposed to plenty. Glad to get the variety of exposure at Insightpool rather than a large organization where you would often be treated as just a number.

Cons

The salary pay could be better, but I guess that's part of startup life. When you factor in the stock upside and the work environment, I guess it evens out. There's always more to be done at a startup so once you get through one milestone, it's on to the next one. This is good and bad as it's easy to get lost in the day-to-day and forget the larger picture.

Eh...Steer Clear Of This Place

Pros

There are some amazing, young, talented men and women working here. Nowhere can you find a more driven, ambitious, and outright cool group to work next too. Also, Devon is an A-1 CEO; the best I've ever had in any company I've worked for, small or Fortune 500.

Cons

Management doesn't always support employees as much as they should and, let's be honest, the pay is horrific! Money is a large motivator, especially in this economy, and it is a constant topic of conversation whether management wants to acknowledge it or not. Also, there is constant conversation about how what is done at Insightpool cannot be done anywhere else but a quick search engine search tends to nullify that talking point. Because of the opportunity to have expanded responsibilities so early in your career, employees are often asked to do things that they simply aren't ready for. This would be fine if there was a culture of investing in people through training and education, but that doesn't exist. Low Pay. I realize that's the nature of a startup, but st…

A Great Place for Proactive Go-Getters

Pros

Like anything, you'll get what you put into this job. If you're looking for a place where you can work hard, rise up quickly, and have your ideas heard--you're in a good spot. You have the opportunity to set processes and have a huge impact--but you've got to be willing to do the work. In regards to the negative reviews--I think a lot of people are intrigued by the start-up idea as a "cool culture", "stock options that could make you rich", and beer on tap; and those things definitely exist. But to truly to succeed here or any start-up you've got to be willing to work your butt off to make stuff work (including maybe teaching yourself how to do a lot of stuff). If you're willing to do that then the sky is the limit at Insightpool. As others have mentioned, this isn't your typical 9-5, but with the long hours comes a lot of flexibility--working from home, getting in at 10am and leaving later, etc. Everyone is trusted as an adult to get their work done and do it well, so you won't see much micro-managing. Training isn't always very deep, but if you have a go-getter attitude you'll learn as you go and everyone is always willing to help. The people at Insightpool are one of the greatest gifts and where I've found some of my best friends. Truly an amazing culture of people. The company has let some of them go or others have gone on their own, but it's a greater testament that many of us have remained great friends with them even if day to day circumstances have changed. Access to senior management is also a huge plus. If you're bold enough to ask questions and share ideas, you'll soon become relied on by your own boss and be given immense opportunity to grow. You'll also never get too bored--things change around here a lot and quickly, so you need to be willing to adapt and see the positive in those changes.

Cons

Compensation is probably the hardest aspect. At the end of the day money matters and is a motivator for anyone--especially if you work heavy hours and don't always feel like your work is noticed. An overall boost in base salaries in accordance to work load vs industry standard is needed. Again, change is constant here. You'll say bye to great friends and smart co-workers, company vision evolves to the market--but that's business. Sales is hard place to be, but if you've got a marketing mindset and enterprise experience you'll be set.
