Social Native Reviews

Culture of Fear, Mistrust, and Disrespect: When anyone tries to ask question or provide opinions that do not directly align with the leadership team they are shut down and shut out. Misogynistic Behavior: There is a clear level of disrespect, especially to female employees who are in senior roles or have more experience, vs. their male counterparts, and there is clearly a "Boys Club" within Social Native that encourages this misogynist behavior. Strong, intelligent female employees who ask questions are labeled as difficult and "not a good fit". This has created a culture where experienced voices (especially female) are ignored or minimized Demoralizing Leadership Style: the new leader of the revenue team has no idea how to manage more senior employees, and speaks to everyone on the team as if they have no experience and in a degrading manner. He also has a clear track record of taking credit for the successes of the team (using the I pronoun often when talking about accomplishments) but blaming the team that works for him for any shortcoming or misses. Unclear Expectations for Success: Employees are told they are failing based on KPIs that are not built in any sort of data (historical or otherwise) and there is a clear misunderstanding of our marketplace and product. There is clearly no ability for growth or mobility within the team, and no attempt to understand an individual's strengths, weaknesses, and personal career growth. Lack of Vision: The leadership team does not bother to understand their customer, the social ecosystem, or how brand work in general. They are still pushing agendas that were old in 2015 and take no action to learn what is actually relevant and compelling. The product also has no innovations or even critical updates needed to stay relevant for clients. I was at Social Native for four years and the only changes to the platform were cosmetic only. Bottom Line- I don't recommend working here and especially not on the Revenue team unless you are fresh out of college and just looking for some quick experience. Even then, not sure this would be my first recommendation.

Zero transparency from the executive team. Over the last year the all but a handful of people had left or were let go. Changes happen that throw the organization into chaos. Their strategy for letting employees go is a calendar invite out of the blue followed by a quick conversation. It was beyond cold and unprofessional. It was a punt to HR after being massively overworked. Seriously, don't take the negative reviews lightly. Most people last a couple months before leaving or being let go. If they don't, the VP or manager will leave instead. Take a look at the low reviews, they really do speak the truth. When I started I thought it must be an exaggeration, turns out it is not. The culture is about overwork and burnout. Once they drain all the work out of you they then blame you for things beyond your control. The company is toxic, just look at the fact they had to replace basically all the employees. Save yourself the pain of dealing with them. My guess is most people are polishing up their resumes.
