Pros

good Snacks, colleagues are enjoyable, product is progressive and relevant

Cons

LEADERSHIP: Company was originally steered by a young, egomaniacal, first time CEO that had created a very flat dictatorial management structure. Recently acquired and is actively experiencing all the classic growing pains of being gobbled up by a larger organization i.e. reorging (terminations), lack of communication, confusion, added barriers, restructure systems, etc. MANAGEMENT: Middle/lower management again are young and inexperienced but also easy manipulated and handcuffed from creativity. They do not truly have their departments best interests at heart due to a fear of replacement. Employees are micromanaged and scrutinized over very minuscule imperfections. Mistakes are highlighted and excessive disciplining is carried out too quickly and without rationale. PRODUCT: Product development is atrociously slow. High employee churn in Product/Development/Engineering. No executive attention on product enhancements or bug fixes which had severely impacted client and employee attrition. CULTURE: Your time at SkySlope can be really cool or really not cool. They have that typical 'illumunati' that rules the roost. Classic double standard. Special treatment to the few while most carry the work load walk on eggshells. They do love to party though. Full spread of liquor for every little meeting or announcement lol. "We're making the blue button green everyone....cheers!!!!!" I felt like I was in Mad Men. #SkySloshed #SkySlurp #SkySwerve #SkySlop

Thank you for providing this review and am sorry you did not have a good experience at SkySlope. To address your concern on management, I would say there is room for opportunity here. We have since hired a leadership coach to provide the coaching and support for our managers to be their best and in turn provide a better experience to our people. As for the employee churn in Development and product, we did have some in early 2018 do to some key people leaving, but since then our engagement in that department as well as turnover has never been better.

Pros

Free lunch/energy drinks that's about it

Cons

I was surprised to see there are many people who had a similar experience like myself with this company much of more of a bait and switch tactic.They make you think it's a great place to work and when you get there it's a totally different story. At my time there I slowly started to realize how rude and passive aggressive people are. Everyday at work you feel like you are on pins and needles that you are going to get yelled at. For the pay it definitely is not worth the toxic sales culture and ridicule. Definitely wouldnt recommend this place if you are looking for a friendly supportive work environment. You may think people are down to earth but that is not the case at all it is the exact opposite.

Based on this and other feedback, there have since been changes to the sales management team. We have taken steps to ensure more visibility into how sales leadership is managing the team.

Pros

They stock the kitchen with plenty of food.

Cons

The snacks in the kitchen come at the cost of a decent salary. They skipped raises department wide several times. The management has awful double standards. The work culture is to work people to the edge of burnout and then show them the door.
