Pros

Good technology and product, although competition is strong. All the social media listening platforms currently in the market look more and more similar one to each other.

Cons

A lot of confusion in the Services and Sales team for what I could see and experience directly and indirectly. Roles and responsibilities were not always clear across the company, and the fact that many people work remotely from home (on so many different timetables around the world) often didn't help the communication overall. Although most people were nice and collaborative, some of them happened to be totally unprofessional, or even rude, on several occasions with me (which I reported to HR). Zero on-boarding, but instead "learn by doing", which for some people resulted in slowness in learning and frustration. Chatting with my boss (at a certain point soon, a person became my new boss, without any introduction or else) was often a waste of time, frequently just frustrating and boring. No vision, no clarity around projects, no professional growth. A lot of fluff. I felt sorry for my boss during many of those meetings. Everything was a bit up in the air - this was the general feeling, and tasks very frequently improvised in my team. Projects were not really challenging nor interesting. Methodology around analysis and pulling insights was not very sound. When I tried to propose some ideas, as well as (basic) processes and templates, the answer I received was that 'flexibility is key'. (So I decided to become flexible - so flexible that I resigned shortly. Sadly, many other people left during the following months in the same office where I worked. It's sad because they were all very good, hard-working folks, but lack of direction and some questionable treatments ended up in this result).

Pros

The company is focused on leading in their market in all aspects. The market and execution is fast paced. Those of us who keep up and contribute are treated well and remain happy work work here.

Cons

Not everyone likes that challenging market. People do sometimes fail against defined performance criteria as evidenced here on this site with negative reviews from people who left.

Pros

NetBase has a great team of people to work with. The individuals that stick with the changes are smart, responsible, flexible, and continually evolving their approach for the better. NetBase values the employee and the customer feedback. I’ve felt my voice has been heard over the past 4 ½ years and that my customers’ voices have been heard as well. I’ve been challenged constantly by the ever-changing market and client needs. There are no two days the same and it keeps me on my toes. I’ve had the privilege to work with many of the teams here at NetBase and can honestly say I feel respected, valued, and that I’m making an impact. NetBase is small, so your work is noticed – if you work hard, it is rewarded. If there is no work that is quickly addressed. I see this as a good thing because it keeps others from having to take on more than they can handle because someone else let it fall through the cracks.

Cons

Work life balance can seem off. We even warn potential new hires of this. This is not an hourly career, its going to take a lot of your time. We each wear many hats and are assigned a lot to cover down on. Whether it is the travel, long hours, or being remote that gives you pause, make sure you are up for the challenge. The hiring process is rigorous. However there is extremely low churn from those who make it through.
