Pros

Solid product. Great people, although dwindling. Solid tech stack in some areas.

Cons

CEO’s authoritarian style has bled down to all areas of the business. Lower level employees are treated like minions without thought. CTO cut high performing engineers based on personal opinion without manager input. He also had no contingency plan in place for long tenured domain knowledge that was cut. CPO laughs while discussing 20% turnover as “not too bad” while it continues to skyrocket. He is clueless as to what good culture is and what it does for production and ownership. Leadership lies at an all hands meeting, and ignores tough questions at this same meeting. The CEO was AWOL at this meeting that he routinely attends. This group of leadership has stomped on an already fragile morale and culture. How they can be allowed to continue is beyond me. IAC leadership should be ashamed.

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
