Pros

Work from home is an option No micromanaging Free food twice a week Good benefits Nice people to work with Great place to for your first job out of college

Cons

Too much change, too fast with little or no vision. Execs seem lost when it comes to operations. Company grew too fast. Seems like all managers are managing for the first time. Promotes from within at times of turbulent change that may not be the right fit for a position. Pay is well below industry standard. Product needs a lot of work to keep up with changing technology. Needs to be more innovation from all within the company.

UserTesting Response

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this review. I’m glad to hear that you were able to find a lot of pros while working with UserTesting, but I’d love to take time to address the cons that you mentioned. I agree that we have been growing very fast, and with that growth has come some growing pains. We do have a bold vision for the role UserTesting plays in creating great user experiences, along with a well-planned strategy for how to achieve our vision. Over the last few months, we’ve have made significant efforts to proactively share our vision and strategy with our employees. While it’s hard to put the right person in the right position every time, we’re committed to promoting from within, if and when possible. UserTesting prides itself on being a place where our employees can grow their careers, and something we actively take steps to ensure we continue to do. We’ll continue to balance promoting from within with the need to make key outside hires. In regards to pay, we evaluate the compensation of our employees annually and we are committed to pay in line with the market. Over the past years, we have made constant adjustments to our employees’ pay to recognize the increasing skill level our employees attain as they work at UserTesting. Regarding your point about our Product Team, this is a big year, and we plan to release double the number of new features as last year! Regarding diversity within the company - UserTesting is actively committed to increasing the diversity of our workforce. Our Talent team proactively seeks out candidates with diverse profiles for every one of our open positions, and we make particular efforts to attain a diverse group of students for our internship program. Our employee communities make a significant effort to increase the awareness and support for employees of all backgrounds, and we heartily welcome referrals and applicants for our open positions that will help increase our diversity. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. We take the feedback provided on Glassdoor, as well as our quarterly engagement surveys very seriously. Our executive and leadership teams review the feedback provided, take action, and evaluate our results on an ongoing basis. I’m sorry that you didn’t have a 5 out of 5 experience at UserTesting, and we’re are hopeful the ongoing actions we take in response to feedback from our current and former employees will ensure UserTesting continues its incredible growth and success, and that our company remains a great place for our employees to work and grow their careers.

Pros

Good culture, very nice exec. team.

Cons

Sales strategy is lacking, product has some scalability issues. Exec's at the top have zero sales experience, the revolving door of sales leadership roles is reflective of this.

Pros

I've worked for many companies in my career and they all have their problems. The companies that I have enjoyed working for are the ones that don't ignore problems and confront challenges and work to continually improve. UserTesting is one company that keeps an open mind and aims to improve. Its in its DNA. I have been impressed with the high standards that are placed on how we treat customers. We don't tolerate negative speaking about our customers. Engineering, where I work, is always experimenting with ways to improve and get better. The product and engineering teams are full of smart people who care deeply about the direction of the company and its customers. The employee retention here is great! I believe it is mostly due to the value placed on listening and addressing challenges and pursuing opportunities. People are valued here. Because of the growth of UserTesting, opportunities for personal and career growth are abundant.

Cons

Due to the growth that UserTesting has and continues to go through there are many unique challenges. New teams are forming and although there is team structure and organization, teams own a lot of areas of the product. It feels like a smaller startup in the sense that a lot of expected from individuals and there is way to much work to do. It can be overwhelming at times. As we grow and hire a lot of younger college graduates in other departments a lot of focus has been on providing benefits and perks that appeal to them. This can sometimes detract from core motivators (IMO). In other words, I am not motivated by them. I am personally fulfilled by accomplishment and being part of a world-class team. I have worried that others who share my opinion may be turned off.
