Not the rocket ship you're looking for, more of 'lost in space' - Sales Showpad Employee Review

Thanks for your feedback. While we respect anyone's opinion, these remarks are too important for us not to react to it. We like to let the data speak to give a perspective on how many people at Showpad (dis)agree with what you have written. Showpad measures every quarter how our employees feel we are doing and what we can do better in an anonymous engagement survey. I am happy to share our latest 2018 survey results of some questions we asked our employees that are related to your comments. 1/ On diversity. “Showpad creates a workplace where people of any background can be successful and thrive, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age or sexual preference". --> 97 % of all Showpad employees (+300 people) fully agree with this statement in our most recent survey. This does not mean we stop there: we have working groups around both gender and cultural diversity, we track it on our HR dashboards, it is part of our values ('embrace diversity')... Most of all we believe our diversity is a key part of our success. 2/ Are we lost in space? "Executive leaders have communicated a vision that motivates me": --> 96% fully agrees with this statement in our latest 2018 engagement survey. "I know how my day-to-day work contributes to the goals of Showpad": --> 99% of all Showpad employees agrees 3/ Not the rocket ship? We are on track to doubling our ARR from about $28M end of 2017 to +$50M end of 2018. Showpad has also been ranked by Inc Magazine as one of Europe's fastest growing private companies. So not sure what your definition of a rocket ship is. I also like to point out that I have never in my tenure as Founder/CEO of this company threatened to fire groups of people at Showpad. That is simply not true. The - anonymously - collected data points above demonstrate that Showpad is an incredibly fast growing company, with employees that are motivated by our vision,mission and who know how they can contribute to our success. Most importantly they can do so in an environment where they feel safe and valued and that celebrates a culture of diversity. We will keep working hard to keep it that way and even improve results and standards to which we hold ourselves.
