Pros

- Colleagues - Relax ambiance, at time. - Nice surrounding - Small Team

Cons

- The tug of war between the two veterans in the office. - Shift pattern 6AM-2PM / 2PM-10PM also during weekends when absolutely nothing happens. - Isolation from the rest of the company based in the US which allows countless unruly and unprofessional behaviour to happen. - Translation requests not taken into consideration even as a native speaker. - NEVER a thank you or a congratulations. No merits given whatsoever. - No progression possible at all even after years in the company. - Showing ambition and potential is taken as a threat by your superior and they make sure to "rein" you down. - Need to beg for months to obtain the tools to do your job properly. - No benefits at all except a mere 1% of your salary for pension that only started a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the feedback. The last time I was in the Swindon office there was a tremendous amount of camaraderie which made me feel we need to continue leveraging this office for broader opportunity. As everyone in the office knows, I would love to talk to you about the issues you see and things we can do to proactively improve the environment. These were your former teammates and I know even with your concerns, they mean quite a bit to you. Look forward to it if you're open to it. Kenneth Frank

Pros

Tech is strong for personalisation Supportive leadership in the UK CMO Lisa Kalscheur was a brilliant leader Marketing was strong with brand awareness despite the acquisition

Cons

Once Kibo (and Vista) took over Monetate and Certona, all hell broke loose- most of the company was fired or quit. -No support during Covid when junior roles needed it most -Had to work multiple roles for less money -Given specific direction with work, then same direction given was negated 2 weeks later- this went on for months -Extremely high quotas, higher than competitor's quotas -Given the option to take a huge demotion or leave without any conversation or explanation 7 months after having a baby -Another colleague was given the same option to take less money or leave 6 months after she had a baby -All female Sales Directors were fired, not given the same accounts as the men -Kibo /Vista only cares about profit- not people, not culture, and not what's best for the company -Cost-cutting like crazy- firing people to hire younger, cheaper replacements which leads to... -Not much expertise in important roles Avoid at all costs.

Pros

People in my direct team Acquisition companies have great products

Cons

Leadership Product roadmap Lack of process Lack of vision If you aren't in Dallas then you don't have a voice No honesty Management won't speak up in case they are fired They lay people off due to 'covid' but then hire more execs Complete divide between companies they've acquired due to poor integration No career path Screw you over with equity

Thank you for being open and candid with your feedback and for sharing some advice on how we can improve. Acquisitions can lead to meaningful outcomes that many across a business can benefit from, but the path to those outcomes is lined with transformation and it can absolutely create a mixed bag of experiences. It's clear that your personal experience hasn't been positive and we'd like to do something about it if possible. I'd welcome a chat with you to discuss your experience personally along with your perspective on our product focus as well. Feel free to reach out if you're open to being part of the change. Thanks again!
