Pros

- (non-salary) Benefits - Internal team culture and collaboration, depending on where you are (team/location wise)

Cons

- Management didn't take onboard any concerns shared, or if they did, somehow the business found a way to push them out - Reactive, rather than proactive approach to CS - Sales over promise, leaving CS in the mud - Burnout

Pros

On the surface, the company has potential. Powerful platform that connects with a wide range of channels. But that’s where it ends.

Cons

Do you like constantly moving targets? How about no firm product roadmap? Or maybe poor executive leadership that pushes you to your breaking point? Then Smartly is the place for you. Breakdowns among executive leadership from sales, marketing, and product all make for the perfect storm of chaos that is impossible to navigate. You’ll join endless all-hands meetings with C-Suites screaming “GSD” paired with “push push push” as their version of a rally cry for everyone to meet aggressive quarterly targets. Culture is toxic and unenjoyable. Employee turnover is constant, whether by choice or by force. There is no time for celebration for any type of wins, whether they be on a department or company level. If you’re looking for a rewarding experience, this is not it.
