Pros

Very cool product Sound global mission Inclusion and diversity is strong (outside of sales) Market Leader

Cons

The US sales leadership team that was put in place by the new CRO last year is absolutely awful. The level of nepotism, misogyny, entitlement and bullying is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 15+ years of selling software. The attrition level since the new CRO and his cronies took over had been extensive throughout the sales organization with some people lasting just a matter of months.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this valuable feedback about our sales culture and leadership in the US. We take this input very seriously as we endeavor to create a company where all employees can thrive. We will continue to work with all of our leaders to ensure our employees are treated fairly and with respect. Additionally, we are making a significant investment of both time and money to ensure our new sales talent is onboarded in a way that will make them as successful as possible out of the gate. We believe that hiring in cohorts is the best way to build community and connection amongst our sales-focused employees. We look at all feedback as an opportunity to listen and improve. Our HR team is willing to engage should you want to discuss details of anything you have referenced in your post. - Carly Rabuco, HRBP

Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the hybrid flexibility in New York and received great mentorship during your time here. Over the past few years the company has gone through significant change a we've integrated multiple teams. We know that leadership transitions and evolving structures are felt by employees, and stability and clarity remain important focus areas as we continue to mature. Thank you again for having been part of the journey, and we wish you the best moving forward.

Pros

- the people (i work with on a daily basis). i've heard some not-so-great things and reviews about people in other departments, but i'm lucky to work with great people in my department and know many kind and hard working people here. - unlimited pto - hybrid - nice offices

Cons

there's good reason behind the overall rating of this company and % approval of the ceo are dropping. the company is not what it used to be. during the first ~6 months i thought it was so exciting and a super unique unicorn company, however, right after that you start to notice all of the things wrong with it. the overall culture also took a huge hit within the last year or so. after the last round of lay-offs, SO MANY people then left on their own because of burnout from the unorganized chaos + more money since it's fairly rare to get a significant enough raise here. i envy the people who got out before the ship sank - senior leadership who probably have no idea what we actually do beneath them aka lack of visibility and no clear path for growth - leadership changes and lay-offs left and right - LACK OF DIVERSITY.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for the more than three years you’ve spent with us, especially during a time of significant change. We’ve had to make some difficult decisions over the past few years, including including organizational changes as we've merged companies, cultures, and products together into one platform. These were not taken lightly, and we recognize the impact they’ve had on teams, morale, and our employees day-to-day experience. We also hear your point around compensation. We’d encourage you to speak with your manager to better understand how salary reviews and compensation decisions are approached, salary bands, and how this connects to your role and progression. You also raise important points around leadership visibility, growth, and inclusion. We know these matter, and they’re areas we’re actively working on... particularly around making growth paths clearer and strengthening connection between leadership and teams. As a current employee, we’d encourage you to share this feedback directly with your manager (in addition to the compensation piece), connect with your People Business Partner, or take part in our annual engagement survey launching in May/ quarterly pulse surveys so it can help shape ongoing action plans. Your voice really matters in how we move forward.
