Pros

An experience like no other.

Cons

Why do all of the positive reviews read like an HR employee wrote them? Hmm… It’s hard to write a review of this place without questioning your own sanity for working there as long as you did. Crownpeak has three product lines that are all equally uninspiring. Their DG product (through an acquisition) had promise but now it seems even that solution has been run into the ground due to lack of investment, and horrible handling of employees leading to turnover. The executive team manages through fear. They are secretive, and convinced that they don’t need to understand anything about why customers buy their products, so instead, they hand out impossible-to-meet sales and engineering targets, which lead to these goals being missed, and therefore lots of turnover and horrible employee morale. All you have to do to understand the state of this company is to look at the rate of employee turnover. They champion the motto of hiring “high performers, low earners” as if it’s a good thing; but, they don’t realize that they are essentially laughing in the face of those that work for them. As a result of the above, you are left with three types of employees who remain - those with families that can’t leave, those that can’t get other jobs elsewhere, and those at the very, very top.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this thorough feedback. Our management team is committed to providing as much transparency as possible concerning the difficult decisions and changes that are required; our monthly Town Halls and “Ask Me Anything” sessions ensure that our employees’ hard questions get addressed by commpany leadership. While our goals are aggressive across each department, we genuinely believe we have the people and products in place for success to be achieved, and will continue to make improvements and course correct as needed. At no point have we had a motto to hire “high performers, low earners” and the fact that we’ve be able to grow our staff so rapidly is evidence that we provide a competitive compensation package that many find attractive. We sincerely regret that you did not have a fulfilling employee experience and will continue to take feedback from both current and former Peeps in order to make Crownpeak a better place to work.
