Pros

As with any company some good people work here. If you spend all your time on Twitter talking politics you’ll be in good company.

Cons

Before reading!! Sisense went through a period of fluffing reviews so please scroll past the random onslaught of 5 star reviews. They are so clearly fluff. There was a mass effort to boost the ratings because hiring is not going well. Ok, read on I cannot stress it enough. DO NOT WORK HERE. It gets worse by the day. It’s extremely toxic. The management is horrendous. This is top down, HR, finance, and mid management. There are a couple decent managers so not all are terrible but most are poison. Management for sales is mostly very mediocre AE’s who showed loyalty to HR or made a senior level friend and got promoted. This ultimately translates to you taking ORDERS from someone who wasn’t good at their job to begin with. Sales cycles are “lie about the competitors as often as possible”. Sisense is being sued for this (public knowledge). You will spend a significant amount of your week listening to unstable people yell about politics. You can join a movie club with the unstable and then discuss political movies at 1pm on a Thursday. If you are like me you can close a deal and argue with finance for two weeks, get no support from management, and ultimately get paid 4-7% less than you are supposed to. Do you enjoy sifting through 250 companies in Syracuse New York only to find out that 240 of them are out of business? This job is for you! Do you love forcing a technology on people that is full of bugs and overly expensive for what it is? Sign up today. HR lost their only hope long ago. Most of the C-levels need to retire or something. Maybe go purchase a cruise ship and sail off far away and have a party where they can all sit in a circle and pat one another on the back for tanking a company that once had a future. Do you enjoy having a mediocre AE who has the title Manager message you on Slack asking you why you don’t have 80 dials a day? Sign up today. Do you enjoy people adding you to slack channels where you can read their political beliefs? Sign up today! Have you ever had sales enablement mid convo go into a political rant? You are missing out!! Truly. It happens. Read reviews Family member passes away and you want an excuse not to attend the funeral? Sisense has the most legitimate excuse. You will be fired if you even think about attending!! (Read reviews below, this isn’t isolated). Are you an older person looking to get fired? Sign up today! Truly. It happens. Read reviews Woman looking to get fired? Sign up today. Truly. It happens. Read reviews Are you Asian? Read some reviews below. You can certainly get fired too if you sign up! Want to see the laziest/worst AE on your team get promoted to be your manager. Oh yes, sign up today! Truly. It happens. Read reviews Do you enjoy claw backs? This place is for you. Truly. It happens. Read reviews. There was once a time Sisense was great. The ship has sailed and sunk. Sisense is not a start up. Sisense is an 18yo (officially) company. The term start up is used to justify mass exodus.

Pros

The company culture at Sisense is truly collaborative, supportive, and positive. Leadership has prioritized finding great people, and it shows. There is a strong sense of camaraderie across all teams. Everyone hired here is carefully selected and highly skilled. Working alongside such talented professionals is incredibly motivating and constantly pushes me to develop my own skills. The work is meaningful, and the projects are challenging. I feel my contributions are valued and directly contribute to our success. We operate in a highly competitive market, which means we are constantly challenged to innovate and execute at a high level.

Pros

My colleagues were genuinely nice people. They were happy to offer help whenever I needed assistance. I appreciated that,

Cons

The product is broken, the clients are leaving, and the employees are ridiculously stressed and frustrated. No one wants to see this reality, but I am highlighting it here to help people see through their lies. The leadership needs to act ASAP if they want to save the company and the future of employees. Otherwise, this ship will sink soon. All the good employees have left or are planning to leave quickly. I was one of them as I saw things would never change. As an employee, one feels ridiculously powerless. You don't have any authority, any control over the chaos and the worst work-life balance. Each day you hope things will change, and each day you get terribly disappointed. It's a sad place to be.
