Sales Rep beware!

Pros

Weekly lunches, monthly happy hours, good coworkers, and that's about it.

Cons

Validity acquires existing companies and raises price to customer base to the tune of 10x previous cost, but doesn't seem do proper market research. While I was there it was constant territory changes for the reps and little to no processes in place. Read the Salesforce Appexchange to see for yourself. A large number of top performers left willingly.

We appreciate the time you spend to leave a review about your experience. We care deeply about what our team members' experiences are with the business. That being said, your review shares a number of inconsistencies. Validity does have processes in place in all departments, but as a fast-growing company, we don't have processes for everything--that would hamper our ability to be responsive and growth-oriented. We also disagree with your comment about turnover--we are proud to have a voluntary turnover rate that is below industry average. We understand the the work and changes may not be easy on everyone, but we still strive to make it a fun place to work, as you mentioned in your comments about enjoying team engagement activities and hiring great people.

Exciting Company with Fun Culture

Pros

The Tampa office is in a central and convenient location and the office environment is upbeat and fun. The office's snack and drink offerings are a nice plus, as well as 1-2x weekly lunches and other occasional treats. The health benefits are very good and offered at a reasonable cost, the company gives out nice swag to newcomers, and has some fun parties and hockey game outings for employees. We also have room to advance if we perform well, and Validity has started offering some cool training programs to those who are interested in taking part. Overall, there's a lot of great things about Validity that other reviews fail to mention.

Cons

Everybody is visible and can make a difference, but that also means there's nowhere to hide if you aren't meeting expectations. Targets and training are clear and leaders support us in getting better, but you have to pull your weight to stick around and grow. If you consider that a con, then you might not be happy at this company. Also, because of growth, job functions don't stay the same forever. While this doesn't bother me, some people don't like that and want things to never change (which doesn't happen anywhere, by the way). If you roll with the punches and evolution of the company, you get to learn new things and build your resume.

Thank you for the feedback! We appreciate your advice to add more town-hall style meetings and team member forums, which we will try to add in 2020. We agree that in a smaller, growing company like Validity, every team member's work is seen and there are no places to hide out for those who don't perform or who aren't actively engaged. Validity chose "All In" as its theme for 2020 for a reason--commitment from every team member is what drives our collective success and helps us feel like we're a part of something bigger than just us and our day-to-day tasks. Keep sharing that feedback with us as we move through the year!

Pros

Validity is growing rapidly and in less than two years since its founding already has 500 people and offices in Boston, Tampa, Denver, London, Paris, Sydney, and Sao Paulo. The company has great corporate culture and people have a lot of fun working for the company. If you enjoy working at rapidly growing software companies, come check out Validity!

Cons

If you don't like a fast-paced environment and lots of growth, Validity is not the place for you.
