Salsify reviews

Unfortunately, this entire company has gone downhill. I was SO proud when I first joined to tell people where I worked -- not so much any more. Leadership is very reactionary and has implemented more than one strategy change every year I was at the company. And I’m not talking about a small adjustment; these are massive disruptions to the business where folks end up discarding months of work for the new strategy. Then, by the time everyone is settled into the routine of that strategy, leadership changes it again. And it’s the individual contributors that get stuck with the whiplash. I’m shocked the board hasn’t stepped in by now and cleaned house in the C-Suite. They created a toxic environment that’s furthest thing from people-first. It's like walking on eggs shells, never knowing which jobs are going to be on the chopping block, though it's very clear when layoffs are coming because leadership goes radio silent, cancels All Hands and stops sharing financial results. It's hard to trust any of them. Frankly, after layoff and layoff and layoff, it’s time the CEO is held accountable. Yes, the market is challenging, but he doesn’t even apologize after he’s hired far too many people. A simple apology could do wonders for morale. In the last round, he let go over 100 people with the plan to rehire in Portugal where labor is cheaper. Then, just a couple months later, they have the audacity to post on social media that they’ve surpassed 100 employees in Portugal. That’s not something to brag about when it’s only because you've fired your US employees to save a buck. If you survive layoffs, career development is about as clear as mud — leadership picks favorites so only certain people move up while other who have consistently delivered get the shaft.

- above all the leadership team needs to turn over - most of the C-Suite has outlived their usefulness at this stage in the company. The founders are smart but not prepared to take the company to the next level; the rest of the C-Suite is homegrown and/or lacks mature company experience. Good people but not the right leaders now - comp and benefits are not competitive with other tech companies - the comp benchmarks they use are generic/low and increasing rigidity around promotions limits upward mobility for many. Equity is also a joke for anyone who has joined in the last 3-4 years, as the potential value is minimal; only lifers have real skin in the game anymore - layoffs have created a culture of fear and protectionism - no one knows if a bad quarter is going to cause another round of layoffs, and collaboration is declining as people try to protect their turf. People are also just tired of everything they've gone through over the past 3 years and leadership expresses little appreciation for the challenges those remaining have gone through - more strategy whipsawing than you can imagine - every few months there's a new strategy and never enough time/energy/focus to ensure they are successful
