SightCall Reviews

The CEO believes that he is a great sales person and a great leader. He is neither. The founders are French - and if you aren't French, you are at a massive disadvantage. The CEO, in particular, will constantly remind you that America stinks, and that you, as an American, are just not as good as anyone who is French. If you are a salesperson and you bring the CEO on a sales call, there is a very good chance he will mansplain to your client. I lost several deals because the CEO would not stop sticking his nose in to "help" but his "help" is typically to kill a deal. Europe is selling much better than the states and the main reason is that the CEO is not involved in those deals. The European sales leader is smart enough to know to not LET the CEO get involved in any deals. Another way the CEO kills deals is to tell you that you MUST be extremely firm on price - even when you tell him you have research suggesting you will lose the deal at that price and/or method of charging for the product. He will tell you that you HAVE to make it work. Then the deal will get lost and the CEO will blame you for being firm on price as the reason you lost the deal. You will be wrong no matter what, The compensation is horrific at this company - and the company is constantly looking for ways to NOT pay people and/or pay people less. The comp plan reflects this. At the same time, the CEO will brag about modifications to his home and giant vacations he will be taking. Which maybe he is entitled to - but when he is killing your deals and taking away your comp - it's not that nice to hear about. The company does have some tech issues and even has outages that they do not report to customers. Typical problem times are around quarterly upgrades where they botch the rollout. It happened every upgrade I was at the company for. Overall, this place is a disaster to work for and a VERY TOXIC environment. The good reviews on here are forced by the CEO - as he on more than one occasion told everyone in the company that they HAD to go and post a good review so people didn't know what a maniac he was.

Somehow this company has lost its way and maybe its soul. In the past 6 months we have undergone massive layoffs slashing from the C-Suite all the way down to brand new hires. Some employees were let go with just a couple of weeks pay (bonkers!). One employee was let go just before their wedding. Former employees continue to threaten legal action over promises made and not kept. I've never worked at an organization with problems like this. No trust. No leadership. There was a time when we were tops at what we do. Arrogance and mismanagement have changed everything. If you want to work here, ask a LOT of questions. Make sure you fully understand your contract and what you are being offered. Reach out and speak to employees to get the full picture. Eventually the company can turn itself around, but it's going to take a lot of time and a management overhaul. They will probably sell it for parts before that can happen.
