Pros

-Smart, driven, highly collaborative group of people -Empowering & trusting leadership team. This transcends not only in allowing employees to do their best work but also to take the time they need, when they need it. Kids have a snow day? No problem, log on/off as needed. You have a doctor's appointment midday? Great, take the time you need before and after. The bottomline? If the work is getting done and you're continuing to raise the bar, you will have the support and freedom you need to take care of things in your personal life. -Fast-paced, ever-changing environment* -As evidenced above, there's a great work-life balance. You do work hard and smart when you're working but you can and should be able to balance that with flexible hours, schedules, PTO, etc.

Cons

-*Ever-changing environment. We have gone through a tremendous amount of organizational change both in people and in strategy. The past few years have been a challenge for everyone, at every level. Those of us who have been here for a while have clung on to trust in leadership and that, with time, testing & learning, we WILL get on the right path. It feels like that path and that time has finally come. There's a palpable optimism internally. -Growing pains of a scaling company. You don't come to a company like Salsify and expect things to be on a straight path forward. You come here to learn and grow and experience the grit it takes to make a tech company successful. It's hard, it's taxing, but it's also hugely rewarding if you take a step back and see the big picture.

Pros

Flexible remote work Experience selling complex Included severance package when laid off Good coworkers on the sales team Awesome Boston office

Cons

There are a few areas I’d like to review Salsify and will group them into 1) strategic direction; 2) senior leader transparency; 3) unrealistic expectations. The company cannot figure who it is - AEs are constantly being condoned for losing to a competitor that is clearly beating them on many areas is mind blowing. No empathy, no understanding and no clear objectivity. QBRs are interrogation sessions and crafted to “help you” but instead is their way of analyzing your selling skills. Real bad way to get a check pulse on talent there leadership. You really don’t know if you’re doing well until a layoff. If you make it, congrats someone at the top thinks you’re valuable. If you get laid off, you should’ve shook the CRO’s hand a bit differently during that first meeting, no joke. They put booking expectations on AEs that are laughable and expect you to hit the goal based on success in key areas, all of which the company does nothing on and then blames it on you. In all I don’t recommend this company to anyone and regret that I wasted so much of my career at this organization. 100 people laid off - all talent coming from Portugal. I couldn’t believe I heard someone was contacted about applying for an open Sales role at Salsify, not even 90 days post layoffs - incredible move.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. While we haven't gone through seven restructurings as an organization, the past 18-24+ months have been challenging for us as we react and adapt to the macroeconomic changes around us and set an organizational strategy that is realistic. This has unfortunately led to a number of changes in how we operate, the most painful of which being people-related. We appreciate your comments related to performance management and are addressing it as a People Experience team as we strive to hire and grow our talent. If you're open to discussing your feedback in greater detail, our PXBP team would be keen to learn more.
