Missed Opportunity for an amazing business - Business Development Nextag Employee Review

fun & cool work place

high work pressure, and too much work - need new funding

Decisions are made based on data and objective analysis -- not based on how articulate one is or how good you are at powerpoint. Very little internal politics and a strong emphasis on intellectual integrity. Good track record of promoting from within --- Good performance is recognized and salaries are highly competitive. If you have initiative you will be given the chance to take on as much responsibility as you can handle. Strong bias towards automating mundane or repetitive tasks to help employees focus on real value-added activities. Exceptional financial discipline, both on the cost side and on deciding where to invest. This is mentioned as a negative by a number of other reviewers which seems absurd to me. Isn't that what good businesses are supposed to do? This is why NexTag has outperformed every other comparison shopping site by a wide margin.

Company is too risk averse at times and could do a better job communicating about company priorities and performance across the employee base. Management could do a better job giving positive reinforcement to employees for good performance outside of the regular performance appraisal cycle. This is probably due in part to the Pro I mention above regarding promoting from within. NexTag has a lot of first time managers who are learning management skills on the job.
