Pros

- Salary was higher than like organisations - Benefits are relatively generous - Most of the individual contributors there were great

Cons

- The HR team are out of The Office: leadership spies and not in touch with reality - Corporate leadership is essentially clueless on the employee and customer experience - Customer Success leadership (director and up) are amateur, ego driven, and afraid to step up for their teams - Excuses run rampant. Rather than fix known issues leadership prefers to make up excuses - Clear lack of focus on the customer experience and a product that causes more issues than value - Step in line or leave culture: One is not free to raise concerns or provide opinions that differ from leaderships due to fear of reprisal - Poor work/life balance

Pros

Gloat has really strong product leadership and vision and is doing some of the most genuinely innovative work in the space.

Cons

Resources always constrained, like in any startup environment. Extreme ownership and hustle is the default here. Not for everyone.

Pros

Product fit for many large org's

Cons

Leadership does not trust sales rep's, many employees monitoring tools in place. All discovery calls and demo's recorded in Gong, then analyzed and heavily criticized in follow up emails by leadership. Rep's required to conduct their own demo's, no SC support. Customers are not renewing and many ongoing implementations have issues supporting go-live. Reps are losing to prospects current tech stack vs. adding a new vendor. Just this month laid off 20% of workforce, completely unannounced. Very low moral. Lastly, if you are considering a position with Gloat, should they ever be able to hire again, be diligent and reach out to current and past sales to get an honest opinion of a day in the life here. Any/all positive reviews are posted by current leadership to pad the reviews.
