Pros

There are some great and passionate people working here.

Cons

- Like the review title says : You will be over-worked - which is encouraged. - They claim that they are present globally but their attrition is so high that you'll see these global teams disappear quicker than they joined - Their pay-scale isn't at par with the industry standards - There aren't many people who would stick around for more than a year, if they did it's usually their local turkish talent -There's no privacy, you'll have the company stalk your social media, they do something called backdoor reference check which of course the HR won't tell you about. Where they randomly call people who may have worked with you before and not from the list of references you've shared with them. -There is no parity of compensation within the team or even people with the same level of experience. It all depends on how desperately they want people which decided your salary. No one knows who makes how much until they talk to one another. -They will talk a lot about culture, throw parties but at the end of the day if all the show and pomp is what you care then this is the right culture for you. -Also most of the company reviews are forced out of you, any current employee who posts here will eventually leave the real review once they leave.

Pros

1. The product demos well and, on paper, includes many features enterprise brands are looking for across personalization, lifecycle marketing, and customer engagement. 2. There are hardworking people across sales, SDR, marketing, onboarding, and support who are trying to do good work and support customers despite a challenging environment.

Cons

1. Commission is not handled in a clear or reliable way. The commission plan is not clearly written and is not consistently followed. Salespeople who close business will spend significant time disputing compensation they earned. 2. There is a noticeable gap between what is positioned during the sales process and what product, onboarding, and support teams are able to consistently deliver. This creates tension internally and disappointment for customers after signature. 3. The US sales motion is difficult due to limited client references, product gaps, and pressure to over-position capabilities in order to win deals. 4. The culture normalizes burnout and employee frustration. One comment from the CRO and co-founder during an AMA stood out: “You should want to quit Insider at least once a quarter. Once you want to quit three times a quarter, we can look at the problem.”
