Pros

The one shining star and silver lining of this company was the friends I made along the way. The close knit friendships I formed that still exist to this day I cherish so dearly and that is the one thing that this company has provided that I will thank them for. Quite literally, they have zero other pros they can offer.

Cons

Leadership and C-suite at this company is wildly mismanaged and an absolute nightmare. The sales team is plagued by unrealistic goals and is pushed to make dangerous sales. The customer service team is underpaid, understaffed, and set up to fail, all while expected to reach ridiculous KPIs. There is no HR department to speak of and no interdepartmental accountability to speak of. They love to promise promotions under the guise of additional pay — instead you’re likely to get more work, new responsibilities, new title… but same pay. My advice - stay away.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we're truly sorry to hear that parts of your time at Audicus didn’t meet expectations, we’re glad that our culture helped you build strong friendships that continue to have a positive impact — that means a lot to us, and we’re happy that it was part of your experience here. We also want to address some of your concerns directly. We’re committed to setting realistic, achievable KPIs across all departments, informed by historical performance and regularly reviewed. Many team members have met or exceeded these goals, and we provide ongoing training and coaching to support their success. We recognize that as a startup, some roles evolve quickly and can come with growing responsibilities. While that pace can be challenging, we aim to ensure that changes in scope are aligned with compensation and career development opportunities — and we’re actively working to improve clarity and transparency around promotions and pay structures. Regarding HR: while we may not have a traditional large HR team, we have dedicated people operations staff and take employee concerns seriously. We maintain an open-door policy and offer multiple ways to share feedback, including both confidential and anonymous channels. Creating a safe, respectful workplace is a priority for us, and we're always working to strengthen support and accountability across the organization. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best in your next chapter. – The Audicus Team

Pros

- Super strong sense of purpose and mission within the company - A strong team of great people - While Audicus is a later-stage company, there's a lot of opportunity for people to contribute in different ways to drive the business -- this creates nice development opportunities for employees looking to expand their skill sets

Cons

- While its been around for over 10 years, it still has a start-up culture ... this is not really a con, but something to be aware of. It's a fast-paced, high-octane environment that may not be a great fit for people used to super-well defined and narrow roles found in large companies.

Pros

Great culture and teamwork. Positive attitude throughout.

Cons

Leadership has its head stuck in the sand. Completely ambivalent to the issues faced by marketing and sales. Lots of deception used to trick customers. Very unrealistic goals resulting in an entire training class being let go or put on training plans because they cant acheive goals. This was not always the case but unfortunately is now.

Thank you for your feedback — we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. We’re glad to hear that you find a strong sense of culture and teamwork at Audicus and that's something that we hope keeps you working with us, our culture as is something we work hard to maintain across all teams. We also want to directly address some of your concerns. We take performance expectations seriously and make it a priority to set clear, realistic KPIs during onboarding and throughout an Account Executive’s career. These goals are grounded in historical performance, and many team members have consistently met or exceeded them. Our training program is designed to be comprehensive, with ongoing coaching to support long-term success. As a growing startup, we recognize that we sometimes have limited resources — but we are continuously evaluating new tools, systems, and ways to improve how we work. Feedback from team members is a key part of that process, and we’re committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Regarding customer communication: we operate in a highly technical and complex market, and we make every effort to present clear, transparent, and comprehensive information. We never aim to mislead and are constantly working to improve how we educate and support our customers. We understand that change can be challenging, and we’re committed to learning and improving as we grow. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. – The Audicus Team
