Pros

You'll be given nice swag. Your first 6 months should be OK.

Cons

Managers are close friends, previous coworkers, or related so be very careful about giving feedback. Promotions are given to favorites. There is very high turnover and they do not put people on a plan or provide any warnings. Territories are not equally distributed. While I was there I saw two people get fired and a manager's friend/family member was given the role. It is extremely clickish. They didn't have HR at my time there and I wish I reported a few people for inappropriate comments and behavior.

Hi there. I wonder how long ago you worked at UT? In 2018, I began building the People team and we are now 28 people across all orgs and locations. I can't think of any example in the last 2+ years of a friend or family member taking a role to replace someone. Our current turnover rate is 13% -- which is well below the average rate for a private growth tech company and the Sales turnover is quite a bit lower. Sales is our happiest group in our annual surveys and the Sales team regularly reviews each member of the team regarding their performance, so the warnings are very regular if someone isn't performing. If you'd like to share more, I'd love to hear. You likely recall the company email and can ping me there and I am happy to talk and hopefully can help.

Pros

Hot Market, decent product, great engineers

Cons

Management is all related and totally and they will fire you if you do not agree with them or if you question their process. All sales, pro services sucks now as does their panel. 4 testers take 95% of their tests according to Usertesting engineers. Great upward movement if you are related to management.

Sounds like you must have had some struggles here and I'm sorry about that. While our management team, and especially the c-suite, get along and enjoy working together, we have few relatives on our leadership team. Maybe it just seems like we are closer in relations than we are. We do heavily encourage employee referrals (27% of all hires last year and we paid $120k in referral bonuses), most of these hires were outside the management team. In that group are many friends and family -- and we love that since these relationships make UT a better place to work. Last year and the year before, we promoted or gave new positions to over 30% of the employees that started the year with us -- something we are really proud of. I think you are off base with your thoughts on our panel. Given the volume of tests performed to get to $100M+ in ARR, those 4 people would be working 100s of hours a day to get 'em done. :) While we don't really disclose the size of our panel, we do know that our tests are filled rapidly and performed quickly. I think you might be off in your estimation by a huge magnitude.
