Pros

Great colleagues and teamwork at the lower levels. Product potential but really need to be acquired to make it happen

Cons

CEO lacks the ability to lead or grow the organization French focus - Don't bother trying to have an impact if you are not French Lack of strategic plan/direction No CRO or Sales focus. CEO thinks enterprise sales is easy. Recently laid 35% in 2 rounds of layoffs Lacking strong product management Customer attrition Competition growing and improving. CEO doesn't care.

Pros

I am very impressed with the innovative product team, sound leadership, and culture of autonomy to own and complete projects. The leadership is very accessible and engaged across functional groups-- great open-door policy. With their recent launch of SightCall VISION the growth potential and adoption of the Visual Assistance solution is very exciting! They have offices in Paris and Silicon Valley, both are very cool to visit ;) A big WIN for me was the sustainability impact the software has on global CO2 emissions. I think something like 1.7 million metric tons of CO2 is prevented from entering the atmosphere! All from helping humans solve problems remotely and preventing excess cars and trucks from driving around. You can feel good about the positive impact you are having on our planet while working at SightCall, which makes the work super rewarding for me. Removing waste from our planet one SightCall at a time.

Cons

The team as shrunk a bit to reorganize for strategic growth. There is a bit more of a start-up vibe at the company, and it can make the work-day less predictable (if that is something you are looking for). I like that there are more opportunities to engage in cross-functional projects if you are open to learning and getting your hands dirty.
