Avoid at all costs

Pros

Decent benefits, including PTO and insurance

Cons

Tiger Pistol was already off to a bad start before the pandemic, but now it’s truly a sinking ship. Here’s why you should avoid working at Tiger Pistol at all costs: 1. Terrible product: The company has never been profitable and probably never will be. Despite getting money from investors to improve our product offerings, our software is worse than ever. It’s buggy, ugly and barely useable, which is why we – as a policy – avoid showing it to prospective clients. The sales team is desperately trying to sell our software but can’t, which is why there’s been such high turnover on the sales team. 2. Careless leadership: Over the course of the pandemic, they have actually become less communicative, less transparent and less invested in employee wellness. They have cut funding for certain employee benefit programs and made false promises about promotions, DEI initiatives and employee reviews that they have never followed through on. When asked if they would provide a work from home stipend, they have even made statements like, “You’re lucky to even have a job during this pandemic.” That just goes to show how little they care about employees. 3. Toxic culture: Poor leadership + a product that won’t sell = a very negative environment. There is no hope for the future and no growth opportunities. Not to mention all the shady behavior from upper management, like only hiring their friends, moving our headquarters for tax benefits, and lying to clients about what our software is capable of. All these things considered, employee morale is incredibly low. People are tired of the toxicity, which is why veteran employees are starting to leave en masse and those of us who remain are trying to get out as soon as possible.

We appreciate your feedback and would have preferred you would have also taken advantage of the direct feedback opportunities that all of our team members are afforded. While our policy relating to social media is that current and former team members are entitled to share their opinions, at the same time, we believe it’s important to address any factual inaccuracies or misrepresentations, and in this case, there are multiple. The pandemic has had its impact on all businesses, not just Tiger Pistol. We have worked hard to navigate the challenging times, with a laser focus on supporting and retaining our team members, while growing our team to support our increasing client base. We made significant investments to ensure the health and comfort of our team while transitioning to remote working. We added weekly communications to accommodate for the lack of in-person opportunities and added frequent online social events to foster relationships and community. In addition to actions taken specifically due to COVID, we have always maintained our monthly all-hands meetings as an opportunity to be fully transparent and honest about the business, while addressing any questions or concerns. Through those meetings, regular company-wide communications, and departmental meetings, we have addressed each and every one of the topics you raised. For example: - We have made it clear that we are maintaining Austin as our corporate headquarters. Our return to office timing is based on safety guidelines, team feedback, and office availability. - We continue to hire in both markets in which we have a physical presence, as well as in other locations where we can find the best candidates. Many of our employees have relocated from our physical office cities for personal reasons, and we have both maintained their employment and worked with them on establishing a successful home office. - Our leadership team maintains our open-door policy, and all employees are welcome to discuss concerns or new ideas at any time with any member of our team. - We continue to invest in the development and growth of our team members, providing promotions and compensation increases based on our quarterly review process. This year, 90% of employees received an increase in salary. We’ve been recognized as one of the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing privately-held companies in the U.S. Companies on this list achieved a three-year average growth of over 500 percent and a median rate of 165 percent. - Regarding our platform functionality, we have won 20+ industry awards and recognitions over the last 20 months, earned by reviews of independent panels of top marketers. - More important than the awards, our client retention rates are well above the industry average for similar adtech companies. Our client retention and growth rates clearly indicate our technology and client support meet and exceed expectations. I am proud of our employees, our culture, and our platform. I am proud that we continue to successfully navigate a global pandemic and a complex and highly dynamic industry. I know I am not alone in these sentiments among our growing number of employees who find a home away from home at Tiger Pistol.

Toxic Company Culture

Pros

The only pro I have is that I met some of the best people (on the ground employees) there and have made some long-term friendships. The employees were great and all hard workers. It's sad that some of the top employee talent has since left due to upper management's approach.

Cons

Upper management is extremely toxic, and the culture/HR team does not actually care about it's employees. The pay gap between individuals even doing the same job is massive. They hire incredibly talented people and do not use them to their fullest extend and typically make them do grunt work. They also expect you to be in office 100% (pre-covid) even though the work can be done fully remote and would make you take PTO days as sick days if you wanted to work from home. Additionally, I was hired under the basis that bonuses were going to be made part of the compensation package - and it never happened. They also have a very narrow focus on the product it's self and claim they're open minded to expansion, but refuse to actually focus on it. They have a ton of opportunity in the industry but won't grow if they don't expand their approach to the product. I hope they have changed since late 2019, but given the high churn that have and how very few people I know still working there - I highly doubt it.

Pros

Average benefits and that's about it.

Cons

I worked for this company for a couple of years and the company never had a clear vision and/or mission. The company had a decent culture before getting adquired but lacked structure. After the acquisition the company had more structure but culture deteriorated. It is very difficult to grow your career in this company. Either you have to be extremely patient or be friends with upper management. The company glorifies newer employees coming from 2 star rated companies on Glassdoor disregarding  concerns about these employees' qualifications such as poor management skills and favoritism tendecies. If you want to be successful in this company just say yes to upper management, but be aware, even if you always say yes, they will only advance you if you a) try really hard to be friends with leadership or b) after you've complained enough to HR. They are going to tell you, we have an open door policy, that's just a fantasy. If you raise concerns, they will not work with you and if they do, it will be a constant struggle. Additionally, they will put blocks to your career advancement if they don't like you but promote newer employees within 6 months or less after joining the company even if they don't know anything about the platform, lack the necessary skills and often seems they are just getting that promotion because of favoritism. They will only try to hire prospects that are referrals from upper management and give biased and ridiculous feedback about prospects who aren't referrals. For instance, feedback such as that prospect is very chatty and even when their referral was more chatty than the prospect..Gues who got hired?! I'm glad I don't work for a company like this anymore because I don't want to work for a company that promotes favoritism as one of their values. Last, company has zero respect for tenure and will not care working with you on concerns related to the management team. If you can, stay away from this company.
