Pros

When I got hired here, I loved this job. It had everything I wanted. A standing desk, a break room with company snacks and drinks provided, scooters to scoot on, ping pong, chess, bean bags, etc. Everyone here was open and honest. If something happened, the company would know about it an hour later, no rumors. The people working here were super nice, (managers and colleagues) and the pay was great. The benefits were instant, I got them from day one. Hours were amazing, my manager worked with me if I needed anything. And there was room for advancement, so I heard. -Good Benefits (Medical, Dental, 401k, Vision, fitness reimbursement, public transportation reimbursement) -Instant PTO -Break room snacks -Scooters, ping pong, chess, beanbags -Amazing team to work with -Wonderful area -Spacious office

Cons

After about a month or two working here, they laid off 60 people with nor warning. An email for a mandatory meeting and hour before, and then 10 minutes to get your stuff and leave. People who have been there for years got laid off, and people who have been there for a short time got laid off, simply because they were 'new'. All because Sales couldn't meet their quota. -Horrible planning techniques by upper management -Training was only 2-3 weeks to learn the entire software -Job security (Anyone could get laid off)

Thank you for taking the time to write this review and provide your perspective. I value communication and have been trying to create a culture of transparency and collaboration in a fun work environment. It’s never easy to make these types of decisions. Please know that this was not a decision that we took lightly. I recognize that it impact people's lives and their careers. And I’m sorry that this impacted you so early in your tenure at Act-On.

Pros

Act-on has since been purchased, but my experience was very positive. They were the last standing marketing company to not be gobbled up by a larger corporation. The product was superior to Adobe/Salesforce/Oracle’s and engineering staff super-passionate.

Cons

Executive staff was mainly on a treadmill.

Pros

There are free snacks and sometimes lunch

Cons

Not a good place to work. Management don’t take feedback well and target people who give it.
