Pros

They seem to be really really good at deleting reviews on Glassdoor which deserves credit - they must be great at housekeeping

Cons

No transparency at all. Lies are fed to the employees like they're bread and water. One doesn't know who to believe. Autonomy is non existent and micro-management common place. Atmosphere is toxic. Violence on nights out has happened in the past (albeit with the previous CEO in charge so that might've changed - hopefully) Bad management. Rumours kill the company. Amateur managers that don't lead by example -quite the opposite. I would not recommend the CEO from an employee perspective. Great at balancing the books at the price of culture and job satisfaction. Promotions are based on 'buttering up' rather than merit. People were let go who actually deserved the opposite and people were promoted who deserved the opposite. Employees are treated disgracefully once they leave. There's no support for them in the slightest.

Import.io Response

Thanks for your review. I think you will find that we cannot "delete reviews" on Glassdoor as you allege. As I have responded to in prior posts, your review appears to be based on is the "old" company from 1+ year ago where rumors and buttering up were maybe the norm (I wasn't here so don't know) and I have no idea what you are referring to as to violence on nights out. Today, Import.io is a strong, well funded, rapidly growing company with a positive culture and team environment. I am sorry that you were not a part of the current company.

Pros

Import.io may have been onto something reference web data extraction and integration, but now Nov 2019 people are running for the doors - with good & valid cause.

Cons

Where do we start, Import.io has lost all their seasoned sales people and technical Solutions Engineers we were let go this week, 11.18.19 Approx. 30% of the company has just been RIF'ed and the remaining folks are looking because they appear to be running out of money to support their customer base and grow it. They have no one left to support their Sales Engineering and MDS deliveryTeams . Customers are leaving them for cause. The CEO Gary Read is an Englishman that on the service seems like a decent guy albeit Pompous, but he is purely a marketing guy way over his head as a CEO and It shows. He really needs a wake up call.
