Sales - Sales Director Gigya Employee Review

Focused value proposition and leadership team

Nothing in particular - eventually acquired

Gigya is a place where smart, hard working people flourish. Change is constant and we often try new strategies to be successful. That's what a start up is. We have a great culture and have traditionally hired great people. Unfortunately management was pushed to make rapid hires and because of that, some bad seeds joined the pack. (See recent negative reviewers) The people who wrote those reviews were people who did a mediocre job, didn't get promoted 6-8 months into the job and didn't understand that just doing the minimum to get by doesn't mean you get a shiny new promotion. It's sad that people feel the need to lash out on a place that gave them their start in sales, paid them well and taught them skills that would help them in their next career. It's very clear that Gigya wasn't the right place for them, because a true Gigyian would never bash a place that fed them, taught them, celebrated them and paid them well.

Some may say that "only working from home 1 day a week" and "not enough snacks" is a con. To them I say, cry me a river or move back in with your parents and have them pack you a snack. This is your career, not play time.
