Pros

Do not believe the recent positive reviews, ask for proof

Cons

Leadership is unstable. Each reset arrives with a fresh promise of "big changes" and a coherent strategy that never materialises. What turns up instead is a reshuffled account list with no go-to-market plan, no marketing engine, and no demand generation behind it. Account executives are managed like BDRs, and quota attainment across the team is very low (5% or less). You are expected to self-source nearly all of your own pipeline, hit a high daily volume of calls and emails, and chase a "meaningful connects" target whose definition keeps changing. The guidance whipsaws between "more volume" and "be more personalised" and back again within weeks, with no consistent strategy underneath. Inbound is scarce, and the few leads that arrive are often unqualifiable. Micromanagement is relentless. Expect several mandatory forecast and call-review meetings every week, with feedback that fixates on trivial details rather than real coaching. Front-line management is the core problem. My manager had limited relevant experience, led by making demands rather than coaching, openly questioned my seniority, and expected results while providing nothing to achieve them with. Escalating above him changed nothing: in my entire time I never once spoke with anyone in the C-suite, which tells you plainly where leadership's attention sits. People who feel that unsupported leave, and several newer hires did within months. Selling is hard for reasons outside your control. The platform was assembled through acquisitions and shows clear gaps on larger, more complex deals. Implementation is heavy and far more expensive than the alternatives, and capabilities are routinely oversold to prospects. Real earning upside is rare. Do not believe what the recruiters tell you.

Pros

Once upon a time from 2016-2017, there was great leadership in Billtrust Marketing, and the culture was top notch. Cut to today : complete 180 degree change, with no end in sight....

Cons

The Executive team fired that great leadership I mentioned, along with many other good people. Those of us left got zero strategic direction or leadership and then were blamed for the lack of results. Oh, and the nasty Director running the show in the meantime is a hazard to the company - no leadership AND no results. But evidently, top grade behind-smooching skills.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are committed to having an open and transparent culture. It’s unfortunate we did not have an opportunity to discuss your concerns while you were employed here. There have been some significant changes to the Marketing team this year, all designed to position us for success in 2019 and beyond. Change can often be difficult but also necessary at a company growing at the rate we are today. I want to assure you there was always a plan. One of our values state, "Fix the problem, not the blame." As a leadership team, we would never place blame on a single person, team, or department. Instead, taking accountability as one team and focusing on fixing issues to move towards accomplishing our goals is always our priority. - Steve Pinado, President
