Great Passion, Poor Leadership - Anonymous employee Mattermark Employee Review

The people I work with are intelligent, diverse, creative, compassionate, friendly, and driven. I feel like we make real progress on our objectives on a weekly basis. Modernization of tooling (Docker, Mesos, Elasticbeanstalk) has made it much easier to be an effective engineer.

The office can be a loud place to work. There are not enough restrooms to accommodate everyone at peak times.

Warm culture of encouraging colleagues that comes along with an amazing office and location. In my tenure there I was never micro managed and was allowed the space to create my own approach and control my own schedule.

Lack of coaching, and minimal support from the sales manager. There was only one while I was there, he was a tall guy who seemed like he was overwhelmed from the start and inexplicably timid like he'd been completely defeated at his previous company. In any case, there wasn't much in the way of helping to close deals. The product itself was nice, but it was stuck in between niches. It was too high priced for SMB and not deep enough to compete with more robust products for mid-market/enterprise accounts. Additionally, it's product's purpose had somewhat of an identity crisis. They tried to pivot towards a sales use case but didn't want to provide contact information to be of value in that regard.
