Pros

* Easy Location. * Friendly enough colleagues.

Cons

*Dedication to loss-leading initiatives (A nearly 10-person strong marketing team for a company with less than 100 employees - to name one) *No plan when it comes to business development and celebrating successes within this KEY recruitment area. *Excessive focus on vanity metrics, trying to book events that bring in zero revenue. *No training or development for employees who are continually under-performing. Placed on 'Personal Improvement Plans' and then left, to either luckily get a deal or have their 'PIP' extended yet another month.

Thanks for sparing time to share your thoughts. For Trust in SODA, success is not measured in money alone. As community-led recruiters, our sales-enablement function is a critical part of our ability to deliver a positive, sustainable impact on the customers, candidates, and communities we serve. Whilst our events do bring in revenue, they are free to attend as we believe in creating equitable access to industry insight and career opportunities. Through this platform, we can match good candidates with good jobs. We designed Personal Improvement Plans to support any consultants who might be struggling and not achieving what they want. They include additional time support from their manager and also the chance for the consultant to be more proactive and lean on support from our in-house L&D team. We apologise that this approach fell short of your expectations. We wish you all the best in the future.

Pros

Working for Soda has been a dream! Our corporate social responsibility and DE&I initiatives are unlike any other in the industry. I've been given clear outlines for career progression and I truly feel like the entire team is rooting for everyone's success. I'm so excited for our massive growth journey in the Los Angeles office and to continue working with the most exciting tech companies on the West Coast.

Cons

The LA office is small, but this isn't really a con since it's such a tight-knit, personal team.
