Pros

- They hired some of the brightest and sharpest people in Dublin. The company is dotted with some fantastic people but sadly they are slowly leaving one by one to go onto better things. - Office is located in a good area with easy access to public transport, etc. - Company could potentially IPO or be a takeover target in future.

Cons

- Staff turnover is in excess of 40% of the ENTIRE workforce. People leaving at a rate of 1 per week. This is right across account management, sales, marketing, recruiting and admin. - Unrealistic targets for sales people in a heavily saturated market. Sales management are constantly changing their minds and never had a clear go to market strategy. - Upper management have zero regard for their staff and treat them with utter disdain. - If you don't hit your targets by month 4, you will be put on a performance plan and fired before your 6 month probation period is up. - Sales job involves sending 200+ emails per week and cold calling. Zero strategy beyond bombarding potential customers with email - The compensation package and sales commission are among the worst in the tech industry and certainly in Dublin. Commission structure is so confusing even the managers are unable to understand or explain it when questioned. Overworked and underpaid. Avoid.

Pros

The field marketing/events team was exceptional. They drove a significant portion of top-of-funnel engagement and created meaningful in-person experiences that supported pipeline generation.

Cons

• Persistent lead routing and RevOps breakdowns. Inbound demo requests were misrouted or improperly disqualified for an extended period, while sales was held accountable for low demo volume. • Sales culture lacked transparency and consistency in account ownership and lead distribution processes. • No structured SDR round-robin process; lead tracking relied on manual documentation, creating inequities in opportunity flow. • CRM hygiene was extremely poor (duplicate accounts, outdated records, misaligned ownership), impacting outbound and new business efforts. • Misaligned KPIs: Sales measured on speed-to-live even when post-contract delays occurred within onboarding or customer success. • High turnover and frequent layoffs created instability and low morale. • Compensation way below broader adtech benchmarks. • Product positioning struggled against more differentiated performance marketing platforms, particularly in prospecting/targeting capabilities. • Marketing messaging frequently misrepresented active product functionality, creating friction in sales conversations. • Heavy emphasis on retargeting budgets limited incremental growth strategies and skewed conversion performance unjustly
