AWESOME! - Anonymous employee Leadbolt Employee Review

Mobile advertising is a massively growing space. If you are in advertising you need to be in mobile. LeadBolt is privately funded and the owners have just invested significantly and we are moving to a new office in a Class A building in a great area. There is a new management structure both here in the USA and back in Australia and you get a sense that the business is about to really take off. Its not often that you can join a business like this when it is (the American arm anyway) still small and therefore you can really make a difference and carve a name for your self.

Start-up culture is not for everyone - you need to perform and be passionate about delivering results and you need to be a self-starter and be able to run with things on your own; but if you show your worth you become part of the family.

Great Industry - The opportunity to work in an exciting, growing industry. Good Talent - LeadBolt hires talented people. I had the opportunity to work alongside really smart people who have extensive experience in the industry.

Lack of Transparency - Upper management does not share any details with lower-level employees including: company performance, company goals, new products, product updates, etc. A few high-level employees have access to all information, and the rest of the company has very limited access to the point of it hindering business. Poor Management - Upper management micro-manage lower level employees and make them feel inferior by always finding something they are doing wrong. Only negative feedback is given, and lower-level employees are not encouraged to grow and think independently. Instead, collaboration is discouraged, and dependent thought processes are encouraged. Lack of Integrity - Upper management does not operate with integrity. Employees are blindsided with constant staff changes, and passive-aggressive behavior is the norm. High Turnover Rate - LeadBolt has an extremely high turnover rate (100%). They are very impulsive always creating new positions, and then eliminating them shortly thereafter. As you can imagine, this creates a terrible work atmosphere. Everyone is always wondering if they are next. Inability To Plan Ahead & Make Savvy Business Decisions - Upper management does not plan ahead. They focus on their idea of the week, instead of creating a long-term strategy for growth and profitability.
