Attentive Reviews

Management is out of their depth and doesn't realize it -or maybe just willfully is ok with it and doesn't care. Recruiters at Attentive have done an amazing job hiring some of the brightest and smartest people... who management promptly ignores when they get here. They hired great people and then don't want to take any of their advice or implement any of their solutions because they are not in the core circle of trust aka the people who have been here since the company had a different name. Why would you hire great people, who have literally done all of this before, who have worked at FAANG, and then ignore them? Management also does not take feedback seriously: they never take meaningful, long-term action based on feedback. There is only short-term lip service. Attentive is also permanently understaffed and keeps trying to hire from without instead of promoting from within, which is so confusing when people are outperforming their goals during a pandemic no less. Like what? So many talented people have left the Product Marketing team as well. There's no work-life balance, and very few people who have families last because of that. You're expected to finish the work in the same timeframe, no matter how many random changes and personnel shifts have happened, even internally.

Attentive looks very nice from the outside, but when you get inside the company, you look around and see that everything is on fire. Upper level management makes extremely questionable decisions. Recently a number of people at the top were promoted from SVP to C-level (aka Chief 'X' Offer), and from VP to SVP level without any clear understanding given to lower level employees as to why. This is in stark contrast to how few lower level employees are promoted. Even when those employees are going above and beyond for their jobs, they are not promoted for months, and told to just wait and see if the next review cycle will be when they get the chance. It's amazing how management acts in the most self-interested way, dealing themselves more salary and higher titles, without compensating their lower level employees too. What they have done to the product design team is absolutely unconscionable and simply the latest in a very long pattern of self-dealing, cynical and callous behavior. Middle management at the company is relatively good but is absolutely toothless because of how upper management feels the need to control everything. Literally the entire C-level suite of this company should go: they have no vision, misplace priorities, misrepresent what the jobs they are hiring for actually are, and expect low-level employees to word 12-hour days and weekends for pennies. All while they promote themselves and give themselves fancy new titles while they gut an essential team and stifle careers.
