Adestra Reviews

- The HQ here in Oxford is being shut down, it’s now like a ghost town - Customer facing teams will almost be non-existent (from more than a dozen Account Managers to less than 5), morale is incredibly low - The acquisition has led to large scale attrition, a high number of redundancies are in progress (>30%) and anyone with logic is currently leaving for better opportunities - The majority of leadership and senior staff left the company and new leadership (at all levels) is being picked from inexperienced 2nd, 3rd or 4th choice remainers - Upland has no understanding of the email marketing industry, what makes a successful ESP or what skills they need to make it work - The award-winning care and culture are dead, Upland has removed the core reason that customers loved Adestra. Expect huge retention problems in the near future - Poor salary for the sector, with benefits almost non-existent

The office has some great, hardworking individuals who prop up large parts of the business with their hard work. However, the large majority of employees here either haven't learnt how to do their job or haven't learnt the platform they're selling/managing on a day to day basis. There's no emphasis on learning it because the hard working individuals will pick up the slack. Workloads vary wildly in this company. Salaries vary wildly in this company, you could have a team of four people all doing the same thing but being paid very, very differently. We aren't allowed to discuss our wages with one another for this very reason.
