Pros

I had a few good friends there.

Cons

CEO is a con man and the cause of all the internal problems. Dan mocks and insults every person in the company(using words Glassdoor would ban me for). He screams like a child during meetings because nothing is ever good enough. He is the cause for huge turnover and lost sales. Then, because the product can’t scale, he insults and screams at everyone. Igloo life is spent on a pathetic and unnecessary goal: how do we avoid being yelled at by this sociopath? You only survive if you can sit there and take verbal punishment, swearing at and insulting you. Insults are also passed to clients who “stupid” for wanting software that is modern. To make this even worse, Dan acts as if he is the CEO ABOVE ALL, a gift to man. Instead he’s a short little man over-compensating by telling everyone, “I’M THE CEO”. 99% of my coworkers were miserable and planning on leaving as soon as possible. Please read all reviews. All five star reviews read like advertisements. Then, look at the numerous one star reviews which repeat the same theme. Dan is cancer.

Thank you for your feedback. I want you to know that I read each and every Glassdoor review and that I take the feedback seriously. Igloo operates in a very competitive industry which requires us to adapt quickly in order to stay ahead of our competition and to maintain the fast pace of growth we continue to experience. You’ll find this in any technology company, and perhaps even more so at Igloo over the past year. During this time, every employee has had to evolve and adapt to this new, dynamic environment, and as a result, they have grown leaps and bounds both professionally and personally. This is an incredibly exciting time at Igloo and I understand that not everyone enjoys working in this type of environment. As the CEO of a leading tech company, tough decisions often have to be made to ensure the company and employees are positioned well for years to come and to best serve our customers. These decisions are not taken lightly and will never please everyone. One thing that will never change is my passion, drive, and my relentless pursuit of excellence in everything we do for Igloo and its employees. For anyone reading our Glassdoor reviews that is considering a career at Igloo, I encourage you to talk to current employees in order to get a more complete view of the culture and environment at Igloo.

Pros

Appspace has offered a great work-life balance, a willingness to embrace new ideas, and an environment that’s supportive without creating constant performance pressure.

Cons

Some of the challenges I’ve experienced at Appspace have been leadership inconsistency due to organizational changes and turnover at the upper-management level. At times, decision-making authority felt limited, which slows progress. There also needs to be more structured coaching and mentorship opportunities from senior high performers to help support continued growth and development.
