Sinking Ship - Faux-Culture - No Innovation - Massive Layoffs
Pros
Volusion has a reputation for hiring great people and then quickly churning them out, so you will be working alongside bright people. On the flipside, if these people are smart enough they will be frustrated with the organization and will leave for a better opportunity.
Cons
Just like their software, Volusion will try and sell you that they are an innovation-driven org, when just the opposite is true; they have no conception of innovation and are strictly a backend, data-driven company that has no idea how to treat or talk to customers, potential or current. Customers were dropping like flies during the time that I was an employee and the writing is on the wall. To counter their lack of structure or innovation, they pride themselves on their wonderful culture to compensate for the fact that they underpay their workforce and they churn out ppl left and right. Part of this faux-culture are constant 1:1 meetings, check-ins, Officevibe surveys that aren't taken seriously, free tacos on Friday; quarterly team outings -- all of these are to distract you from the fact that upper management doesn't know what they're doing. Like one review says, it is all truly a ruse.
