NextRoll Reviews

CEO: Toby's true leadership colors have shown with how he handled the lead up to and the layoffs of 174 employees (30% of total). What a let down from our "CEO". Please treat us as adults and be transparent. Robot reading poorly written speeches did not create confidence or show that you cared about what was to come. You have lost employee faith. Unrealistic timelines for company wide initiatives: Leadership have ideas that sound good, but no idea how to effectively lead their departments to work together to create successful and on time launches. Examples of this are the delayed rollout of RollWorks and the delayed rebrand from AdRoll Group to NextRoll; delays to CPQ rollout; and delays to SaaS initiatives. Incompetent people in high places: The layoffs highlighted protection of upper management. This was an opportunity to push out certain upper management and show faith in the competent/tenured/company-driven lower level employee. Instead you chose to keep 99% of upper management. Leadership strongly needs to identify those SVPs, VPs, and Sr. Directors who are not competent department heads, and ultimately, not trusted by their own teams (or other departments). Lack of D&I at the top: There is a visible boys' club at the top. And it's uncomfortable. Salaries/Promotions: Salaries offered are lower than industry. Getting a pay rise/promotion can be hard, even for those who place in the highest performance brackets. Favoritism is shown. Other: - No 401k match - SF HQ location could be better/safer - After 12+ years this global company is still a relative unknown in the global tech space. - The company name is NextRoll. It has "troll" in it. - As shown by what has happened with COVID19, leadership had/have no contingency plan.

This is where you should give most of your attention. NextRoll has shown no real leadership for many years across almost all levels of management. From the C suite to the mid level management it's hard to find a true leader. It's all about egos and profitability. NextRoll recently took advantage of the covid-19 pandemic to lay off ~30% of their workforce. Touting "profits and revenue targets' as the main factor of this workforce reduction. This happened the same week that many true leaders in SF/silicon valley are taking pledges to not lay off any of their workforce for at least the upcoming 90 days. Essentially taking a financial hit a corporate level because it will make it easier to rebound if you still have your talent and you are not adding to record numbers of the US workforce applying for unemployment. This was an opportunity for NextRoll leadership to set themselves apart as a company that cares about their people, and that they are the only way a company can pull through unprecedented times like these. Unfortunately, true colors were shown here, and the AdRoll name(that was built many years ago) will never be viewed in the same light because of it.
