Showpad reviews about "benefit"

Dated technology, C-Suite leaders appear to not understand the current product landscape, decisions are made without much thought or care for impact to employees, clients, et al. You have to threaten to leave to get raise, a title promotion or any consideration for either. The company has leaned so far into DEI that it has lost the plot when it comes to what the function of a business is. It then uses these initiatives as a measure of success, while clients churn and talent runs out the door. Layoffs are common and announced on EMEA time, which means North American Employees get to wake up to bad news about every six months. Oh, and they don't actually announce who is terminated, laid off, etc., you have to find out when that person doesn't show for a client call or internal sync - Super professional. There is more to share, but others have done that more eloquently than I can; just read the reviews that are not obviously written in house as a means to pad the rating.

Job instability with may layoffs

-The C-Suite is, in a word, a joke -No brand awareness -Compensation is way below market -This company has laid off 100+ employees in the past year. Right before Christmas too! Classy. People of color and LGBTQ+ employees have been impacted most by these layoffs. See previous reviews-they are accurate -Lack of diversity

none that I can think of

Been overtaken by the competition in product development Seen by most companies as a 'nice to have', not a 'must have' Very few industries see the need - tech, pharma, and maybe 1-2 others, and has to be companies of a certain size who have the assets to live on the platform. Seen so many good people come and go over the years, growth is pretty flat and so people leave to get up the career ladder

Promotion path is pretty tough. You can be a BDR for 2 years before even coming close to promotion

Massive turnaround and unclear hiring decisions, especially on director level upwards. And then 12 months later people are let go again one day to the other and everything starts over again while ICs try to keep the ship running and on track. The performance review process is not existing. I had no personal goals throughout my employment, but it doesn't matter as there was no merit cycle anyways for quite a while. But "important" promotions were still done but not communicated to the company. You've learned from LinkedIn who was lucky. Unwanted people were let go regardless of performance or goal achievement anyways. Don't fall for the promises: don't join for something in the future! Chances are it won't come, the person who said that won't be there anymore or got overruled. You'll get higher or responsiblities but without the promotion to see "how you're doing" first. Benefits: there is a huge gap in benefits across the offices, maybe even intentionally to slowly dry out the regional offices or hubs. Customer proximity or local language isn't relevant anymore, centralization is key and english "good enough". No interest in personal growth. There is always a budget for personal growth mentioned, but whenever someone had an idea how to use that budget for his personal developement it was too expensive, not relevant, already used for some "team releated initiative" or it just took ages to come to a decision. The culture slowly died. Nowadays it's far away from being transparent, can do attitude and grow together. Many team leads and managers are inexperienced and just got up there due to tenure, relationships or elbows, creating an environment of micromanagement, mistrust and fear. Politics, especially between Europe and the US, is all present and people get blocked in progressing if they are on the wrong side of the pond. At the beginning it was a company with belgian roots and european mindset but it has become a wanna be US corporate for a very high price... the culture and the people.

No 401k match, which limits savings potential

Leadership team. Compensation is WAY below market. This company has laid off HUNDREDS of employees in the past couple of years. Don't believe Showpad's "responses"-they're all massive BS.
