Pros

Salsify is exemplary of direct value derived from technology. Salsify is also building an A List of leaders in the SaaS space with proven success. Mike Milburn is one of those leaders. I have worked with Mike Milburn on three different occasions, including Salsify. Milburn was instrumental in launching and building Salesforce's biggest revenue generator and building deep realtionships across many industries. He has brought a lot of what he learned at Salesforce to Salsify at Salesforce developed a very successful client driven focus rusting in high value and measured in high revenue growth. . Milburn has a proven track record and is a major reason to join Salsify where you can learn from the best.

Cons

As with any high growth company there are high expectations. As some have leaving reviews here have been part of the fall out that is to be expected as are the reviews that cast blame elsewhere. The only con with this company is that you have to be open to evolution at a rapid place. Companies like Salsify are not for everyone and they require a high level of engagement and proactive problem solving. The status quo doesn't cut it here.

Tech company that still can't figure out who they are

Pros

- The company is poised for success, especially with the most recent boom in e-commerce. It will likely become one of Boston's most successful homegrown tech companies, and that's a great career builder to add to your resume. - They were very accommodating around working from home during COVID, especially for parents. - There are some truly amazing people who work there. I've made some great friends and got to work alongside some really smart people every day. - It's a great office with beautiful views of Boston and a fully stocked kitchen.

Cons

- One particular member of the exec team can be incredibly difficult to work with. The “How to Work With Me” doc mentioned in previous reviews is an embarrassment to the purpose of that type of document. It’s a 5-page self-aggrandizing NY Times opinion piece about himself. Here's the summary: he doesn't want to talk about your weekend with you and he's gonna be rich at the end of this all which makes him immune to bias in his decision making. This is the same executive who brags about how comically low he scores on the blue "empathetic" and "compassionate" category in the True Colors personality assessment. Cool. - Expect emails from said executive to be either a literal one-word response or 1,000-word unsolicited "teaching moments" where he imparts his wisdom upon you, there is no in between. - Some people in leadership positions care more about making statements and being right at the cost of building effective interdepartmental relationships. It can be very toxic. Lots of other team bashing in the name of "transparency". - The organization does not understand the concept of prioritization and adhering to processes. Everything is a priority and needs to be done yesterday. It makes it impossible to build and execute on meaningful long-term strategy. - Go-to-market strategy changes on a weekly basis. Problems are solved by creating another Google Doc that gets lost in everyone's inbox or by putting on a new webinar that only Salsify cares about. - They are a slave to TAM at the expense core PIM functionality. - Salsify is where simple, good ideas go to die, only to reincarnate themselves through a series of meetings as an over-engineered process designed and compromised to death by committee. - HR is a joke. If you bring up an issue you can see the gears moving in their head as to how they can properly mitigate the situation at the corporate level, vs actually solve the problem. Any sense of empathy is so obviously disingenuous and scripted.
