Pros

- Excellent benefits. - Unlimited food, snacks, coffee and beer on hand! - Fun out of office culture events to help encourage team building amongst the diverse group. - Very competitive compensation for an early stage start up.

Cons

- Employees lack a safe outlet to confront company related issues due to a lack of HR presence internally primarily because of inexperience and inter office relations between managers. - Employees work long hours and come close to sleeping in the office on a regular basis, which is expected amongst a passionate group of individuals working at an early stage start up. Unfortunately, if you are unwilling to make this a regular part of your lifestyle you may be deemed a "poor culture fit," which has lead to termination for several employees. This company is not family friendly or respectful of employee's work/life balance. - Extremely high turnover rate on the sales team (AEs get approximately six weeks with little to no training to hit quota before being terminated). - Constant issues with payroll during growth period (checks regularly over/under). The company does have a new CFO so those issues should clear for good in the very near future.

Several months ago, RealScout hired an HR manager and Sr Director of Sales with over 25 years of sales management experience. As with many early stage companies, we experienced with rapid growth with limited resources. Since then, the company has hired incredibly talented and seasoned industry professionals to help the company scale.

Pros

Unlimited drinks and snacks, Competitive compensation, Solid product, Fun start up environment.

Cons

Immature leadership team aka "Fab 5" (cliques, favoritism, and unprofessional behavior) Inappropriate office romances and interactions that supersede any other employees opinions. Zero accountability from leadership team when concerns are brought to their attention. (kill the messenger, rather than address the concern at hand) Poach top talent into organization then treat them poorly. Unrealistic expectations paired with arrogant leadership and little respect for employees. (the employees are expendable) Intimidation is a best practice. Flat v. Hierarchical. (not sure they know the difference) Opaque transparency. (only what leadership wants you to know) "Growth" happens when no one else wants to peruse the role. VC's are clueless to the leadership teams inexperience and unwillingness to remove anyone from the leadership team itself.
