Pros

A truly remote company with wework membership. Some good co workers and an amazing CTO (he is so humble, great at his job and treats his team so well)

Cons

Where do I even start? StackAdapt was sold to me as a cool startup where people work hard, play hard. Started at the company, there is no structure, no processes and no support. You lean in to help and managers take it for granted. Old CRO leaves and the new CRO decided to change everything (org structure, compensation structure, many territory changes, letting go of existing team members and hiring new people). StackAdapt was multi-cultural, collaborative and is now full of keeping paper trails, office politics, ego and additional leadership layers (he decided to let go of a bunch of ICs, demote directors and instead hired a bunch of VPs) If you do not agree with his ideas, you get flagged and targeted and forced out of the company. The company is becoming very white american male centric in leadership positions and treat minority females like they are transparent (I have been in calls where I was the only female and only minority and my leaders literally do not acknowledge my existence and when I speak, they completely ignore me). This is the first time in my career that I'm waiting for karma to happen to these people who literally use their team as scapegoat, is condescending, passive aggressive and offers no real value to the company but are celebrated as "thought leaders". Definitely avoid. Not worth joining as they are only finding ways to pay ICs less and there is no incentive to help the company succeed.

Pros

Honestly hard to name many at this point. There was a time when StackAdapt had real energy — people seemed to genuinely enjoy the work and each other. That culture has mostly eroded. If you're considering joining, do your research on what the company looks like today, not what it was two or three years ago.

Cons

Leadership quality has declined significantly. Several managers in place have no business being in those roles — they contribute little, take credit for wins, and deflect blame when things go sideways. It creates a demoralizing environment and good people notice. Comp structures have shifted in ways that primarily benefit the top of the org. What used to feel like a fair deal now feels like the goalposts keep moving. On the product side, there's not much that meaningfully differentiates StackAdapt from competitors, and there's a lack of transparency with clients around pricing. It's hard to feel proud of what you're selling.
