Pros

fast paced good solid core of employees huge potential company socials intelligent and motivated coworkers competitive salaries good benefits free lunches

Cons

momentum on the downturn for last 8-12 months exec egos nice ceo but lacks experience. letting exec team ruin the company little to no opportunities for advancement not promoting from within nepotism and favoritism has set in at exec level. letting go of and losing the best employees because of this. cross departmental tension and silos - poor communications between all groups but especially product/sales/customer success lack of exec industry experience, product has fallen behind the competition turnover growing and morale dropping not a serious surveying system no matter how much you throw marketing at it. typical silicon valley mentality that they know best (think airware). renewal rates reflect this

Thank you for putting the time in to provide this detailed feedback. We appreciate that additional communication and visibility across and within departments at Kespry is valuable. We have invested in ways to do that across the company, from individual teams up to the executive team. Additionally, while we have achieved success in the mining and roof inspection industries, we recognize the need to remain focused. We have made numerous promotions in sales, engineering, and customer success – including to the leadership team.

Pros

We have great people, open and caring leadership and a positive remote culture. I appreciate the efforts of management to hear employees out, share vision and communicate openly. It finally feels we are all rowing together and in the same directions. Sure, there are day to day issues but overall, I find that there is an employee focused culture that is rare at tech companies. I love working with my team and also enjoy collaborating cross functionally.

Cons

I do feel we need a more detailed and focused strategy and roadmap shared to further drive our goals and outcomes. However, I also know I can reach out to my manager and our CEO any time to have my concerns and questions addressed on this. We have systems and processes that do need to be refined, but considering we are doing A Lot with the size we are, I know that these will develop with time.
