Market Logic Software Reviews

As other reviews mentioned, long hours, expected to stay overtime with no additional compensation, in fact inputting more than 8 hours work a day/40 hours a week is automatically blocked on MyTime, the work hour tracking system. Poor morale, they were hiring by the dozens a year ago but recently turned around and started firing. CEO had to run propaganda sessions to do damage control and "comfort" everyone they would not be next to be fired. Christmas party was lame and the food was horrible, made me throw up. CEO Kay takes everything very personally and is a bully, he can't stay away from anything because he has NO TRUST in the employees, the micromanagement is to the detriment of all the teams in the company. Management team leaves lots of fake reviews on Glassdoor and it's getting more obvious. The one posted January 2018 by a "Senior Consultant, less than 1 year with the company" there is no Senior Consultant who joined the company in the recent 2 years who is at all happy with the state of the company, much less think it produces a "great product". That review reeks of the language used by management. The 5 star posted December 2017 by a "former Director" and mentions how he/she/it likes the new office. The move happened October 2017, no Director left the company since moving to the new office. Also watch out for the fake salaries - management likes suppressing salaries and that includes dirty tactics like placing lower-than-average numbers or outright lies on review sites like Glassdoor. The recently posted "Senior Go-To-Market Specialist: 39k-43k" is a working example of this, there is no such position within the company!

Pedestrian Middle Management: Middle Management in Berlin is mostly comprised of former Analysts / Market Researchers who joined the company 4+ years ago, and we're promoted over the course of time. They're definitely adept at providing consulting on an insights platform but are worse than useless when it comes to running SaaS operations. It's isn't a whole lot better in Chicago either. While one or two people clearly know what they're doing, the others folks are really out of their depth. Constant State of Flux: For a company that counts F100 logos in its client portfolio, it can be shocking to see how anarchic processes are within the company - poor onboarding, lack of proper tools for collaboration, SaaS processes running more on personal relationships than any form of standardization etc. Mediocre Pay: The pay at MLS isn't the worst, but you could be making a lot more at other companies for half the hassle. Positions beneath Director aren't eligible for bonuses either. Lastly, if you have come across a recent job description from MLS, chances are you'll have read something along the lines of "be a part of a growing business / shape this company" or something like that. Reading this you'd think this is a year old startup, maybe two years old tops. This is infact a 6+ year old business that still isn't able to shake off the mentality of a fledgling company. The reviews you see on Glassdoor are reflective of that. In short, think long and hard before you join MLS. If you're stepping into the SaaS world or really need the job, then nothing this review (or other reviews) says should matter. But if you have the years under your belt in the SaaS space, you could do a lot better than MLS.
