Pros

The marketing team in particular is a brilliant bunch, and I'm grateful to have worked with so many great workers. Was definitely staying for the people more than anything else.

Cons

Though working with teams and collaboration were my favorite parts of the job, the way I was handled upon departing the company was extremely sudden and cold, and went against the expectations that were given to me. Top management can benefit from learning to treat their employees and any departing members more warmly in advance. Also, huge lack of transparency around most things.

What Happened to Inspire Confidence?

Pros

Smarsh was once a great place to work with a high-energy culture that focused on People First, Inspire Confidence, and Embrace the Impossible.

Cons

At some point the people-focused core values became less about inspiring confidence and more about getting the bookings at all costs. It was and continues to be all about rapid, uncontrolled growth without investing in the stability and security of current solutions. Starting salaries were an insult.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. At Smarsh, we believe our values should evolve alongside our business, culture, and people. A few years ago, we engaged employees across the company in shaping a new set of Guiding Principles - an intentional evolution of our original values. These new principles - We Lead with Excellence to Protect the Truth, We Own the Outcome to Ensure Results, and We Act as One Smarsh to Build Our Future—were built by our people, for our people. We understand that times of change can be challenging, and we recognize that growth must be balanced with focus, investment, and care for our people. Your perspective is important and will be shared with our leadership team as we continue to listen, learn, and grow. Thank you again for your time at Smarsh and for your honest feedback.
