Great local tech company with flexibility and benefits - Cloud Engineer MangoApps Employee Review

MangoApps is truly great software solving a huge ned across most industries. The opportunity for sales and groth is immense. The people here are smart and caring and truly passionate about MangoApps and helping the companies we parter with. The opportunity for sales is gigantic and while it is a complex sale and tough to generate cold interest, for those who want to dig in and work hard, this is a great place to be.

Not really a con, but working here requires commitment and hard work This is not a place to be if you're used to deals being handed to you without much effort on your end. But if you put in the effort you will be rewarded. The hybrid work set up can be tough for some, but I find the in office days to be of great value to connect with the small but mighty staff here.

The colleagues you'll get to work with - most of them are wonderful humans. While there have been some questionable hires in the last year, generally speaking, most of the employees are capable, intelligent, experienced, and kind. The product itself is also brilliant. Everyone needs MangoApps. The success of the company is proof of the product being awesome because it sells itself in spite of poor business ops.

Be cautious of the positive reviews here. The owners of the company and HR literally asked us to write good reviews last year because they were having difficulty hiring. The statements and expectations set by leadership in the interview process are misleading and many have not come to fruition. For example, they have been talking bonuses for over two years and continue to move the goal post and have yet to pay any bonuses out. This is after already paying below market rate for most roles with subpar benefits. You will be told that ownership (CEO/COO) value feedback, are good at giving feedback (positive and constructive), there are bonuses, and the culture is supportive - these are inaccurate. The feedback is minimal (they say they follow a "no news is good news" standard) and when you do get feedback it is usually punitive in nature vs. constructive and helpful. Positive feedback is non-existent. The CEO and COO (a husband and wife team) micromanage every single aspect of every single department in the US team. They do not trust those they hire in either “management” or employee roles. The “leadership” style is one of leading by fear vs. support. Managers are merely puppets of the CEO/COO. The CEO has publicly criticized people, in writing in our comms platform, deleted responses to his feedback, and then continued criticism in private threads. The COO does not criticize in writing publicly, but will call you down in chat or in person if they’re displeased with you as a person. Negative feedback is commonly opinion/personality-based (vs. action/behavior/job duty feedback). There is no solid documentation of processes, responsibilities, or definition of roles - because they change on a weekly basis at the whims of leadership. The air of fear [of displeasing the CEO/COO] is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Your work is judged primarily by visibility and its alignment with leadership's personal preferences.
