Where to begin…. Unfortunately, the experience Multiverse provides is incredibly disappointing. In many cases, Multiverse reaches out to top talent across the tech industry, pushing the mission, sharing the big names that have invested to win the talent that joins… meanwhile they sell smoke and mirrors as the company is simply a mess. Multiverse's mission is to create a diverse group of future leaders through an alternative to college & corporate training. Awesome mission, right? Yes, it sounds good – which is why so many kind, smart, savvy sales professionals join the organization. The goal: to solve a mission that's way bigger than themselves & potentially impact millions of (diverse) lives. Even with such a strong mission, the opportunity still must be validated. During the evaluation process, many people ask questions around the state of the team & the company. The unfortunate part is that you are met with fluff & lies about the legitimacy of the sales process, customers, product, culture, and the maturity of the company as a whole. When you arrive at Multiverse, you are greeted by nice people (or should I say were.. Because many of them are gone) and you’re thrown right into the mess. From day 1, there’s no expectation setting on performance, minimal support in onboarding, and zero sales playbook (some may see this as an opportunity, but seeing that there is a sun-par product and no product market fit – what are you really selling?) Your job turns into a glorified BDR role weaponizing the mission (that is not being executed upon) to drive conversations that don’t go very far. What’s worse - if they do make progress, your champions will want to dig into the accuracy of some of the data presented, and you’ll be left creating more smoke and mirrors to mask the current state of the company. Many of our colleagues on “ramp” were terminated within months into their roles due to “underperformance”. In an enterprise role, where the average deal cycle is 6-8 months (at best), people were terminated within 2 months of starting. Make it make sense. Leadership seems to offer minimal transparency and micromanages, while middle management lacks the experience to hold the leadership positions (ex: player-coaches as sales managers with little-to-no management experience – when they sell you on their top notch leadership + skill development). Additionally, there is very little ethnic representation across manager+ level leadership (don’t forget, the mission is to create a diverse group of future leaders, ironically). To solidify the disconnect between the mission and the execution on it (both internally & externally), the entire diversity team at Multiverse turned over. It’s incredibly unfortunate because if Multiverse had the expertise and integrity in place to execute their mission the right way (at every level, both internally & externally) – they would have had the potential to positively impact millions of lives and the future of workforces everywhere. Instead, they should step aside and create space for mission-driven companies that close economic opportunity & diversity gaps … the right way. If you’re considering an opportunity at Multiverse as an AE, I would highly recommend reaching out to any sales person to ask about their experience prior to joining. Unfortunately, they will likely have many similar sentiments to the other Glassdoor reviews listed below.
