Pros

Some of the teams in Redwood City get to travel to the Barcelona office to meet the rest of the team...it's a great way to experience Spain and travel around Europe.

Cons

Contrary to Inc. Magazine articles, the company's growth isn't there. Most of the US employees added to scale the team have voluntarily left or were laid off due to decreasing revenue/high customer churn and not enough money for their salaries. They're spinning their wheels trying to figure out how to minimize overhead, and that has come at the expense of its team members in Redwood City. The effort isn't collaborative or team-oriented (a paradox given the software is a collaboration solution for its clients); constructive criticism and helpful suggestions are met with heavy resilience and frustration. Ideas aimed at improving will not be taken warmly if considered at all. Two people (but actually just one individual) run the show here, and the results have suffered.

Pros

- The people are great. Treat each other more like family than colleagues. Really care for each other and it shows. - Innovation. Awesome focus on innovating and creating products that are not just better, but different in really creative ways. - Supportive. Very supportive management team. - Willing to take risks. Contrary to some reviews from one or two disaffected former employees, Redbooth has been bold enough to take risks and to pivot when necessary. Contrary to what some less visionary/experienced people may think, startups have to either evolve and change or they will simply fail. That evolution is necessary and healthy. While it's unfortunate that some initiatives aren't successful, the management team's ability to recognize when something isn't working and courage to pivot in a new direction is a testament to their leadership, not a sign of weakness or lack of experience.

Cons

- It's a small startup with all the pros and cons that go along with that. If you can't stomach a fast pace and lots of change, then you aren't cut out for this line of work. Sorry, that's harsh, but it's the truth.

Pros

Great people with great personality, but they no longer work there anyways. Good food located around the area and parking was free.

Cons

Everyone on the sales team has been let go. One of the worst managed organizations I have been a part of. The CEO has no clue what he is doing and fired the only executive that had a clue, the CTO. The product is awful and is not fully supported. We claimed to have integrations we didn't have in an effort to gain more customers. High churn rate amongst customers in a very crowded market.
