Pros

It's amazing to see the phony 5 star reviews that are probably influenced by the desperate CEO. It's so sad to see. Here's an update: 12/16 staff was recently let go. Including the CMO! That's what happen when you generate zero revenue. Great job. Glad I'm gone.

Cons

I advise everyone that is either investing or speculating on joining this company to fully read through the less than 5 star reviews for this company. You can already see that with the CEO having to do damage control on this site how little respect and loyalty former employees have to the company. Doesn't that make you wonder WHY? It's a disgrace and shame to see the CEO have to reach out on LinkedIn calling an SOS for his sinking company and investment. I won't just blame it on the CEO, though. I'll put the other half of the blame on his incompetent C-Suite staff that he full well knew weren't capable of the job... But instead were highly capable of saying "YES" to his every word. So, really, it all stems back to you, CEO. I feel sorry that you have to do damage control on here. I hope the next time you run a business, you'll remember in investing in your people FIRST. You'll remember to hire people BETTER than you, not people that will submit to your every request. A lesson well learned here, from both sides. Good luck to you.

Pros

A select few people that made work life worth it. They understood the struggle to work at a place like this. made the days bearable.

Cons

-"SaaS Markets maintains relationships with over 1,500 app providers." This is probably the funniest thing I've ever heard. Not only is this completely false, but it also unrealistic for a company our size and age. Get real, here. The person who believes and has said this is just as ignorant to continue working here. Perhaps it's fitting that they continue working there, after all. - People are rewarded for working long hours, not for working smart. - Can't always trust C-level because folks operate out of fear. 
-A company whose main service and revenue generator is building app stores for enterprises should have nothing LESS than a rock-solid platform. But, at SaaS Markets, you only have screen shots of what you hope your platform will be one day, and random interns QA and copy and pasting in the back-end. Can you guess? Our CEO is not a CTO nor techie by a long shot. 
-Incredibly d u m b, non-tech savvy people in this "billion dollar" SaaS industry. Makes working with them a pain. (This is how you copy and paste...)
 -In addition, most employees do not even understand the product and what kind of revenue (none) we are generating. Hence, why they're still there. Employees are sold on a LIE that these apps on the store have partnerships in place, when in reality it is the utter and complete opposite! Employees, start asking more questions! Don't believe statements until you have PROOF that they are indeed true. So far, I've been lied to constantly.
 -Absolutely no type of culture here. No one knows how to have fun as a start-up and collaborate. The ping pong table has cob webs. Sit at your desk and be careful what you say out loud. I assure you, everyone is intently listening. -Timed arrival and departure. Eyes are always on you.
 -C-level executives are the most unprofessional I've ever met. Gossiping, stirring up drama, throwing fellow employees under the bus in an all hands meeting, questioning your sick days. Environment makes you feel like you're in high school all over again and leaves you feeling like you have to constantly watch your back. -Constantly felt pressured from employees to side with their internal office drama. Called into office to talk about drama. ~ Any qualified c-level exec knows this is NOT the way for damage control in ANY business setting.
 -Small office, lots of drama. 
-Managers dont know how to manage. Lack of understanding and care towards their direct reports' work load.
 - CMO has absolutely NO marketing strategy in place. -CEO changes directions within a heartbeat.
 - Micromanagement! Managers will ask through other employees if you got your work done. No trust here.
 -Very narrow minded top-level mgmt. Some don't see how bad the company is actually doing. It's ok to have some hope, but how about you address the big issue here: your whole platform with these apps are flawed and illegal.

Pros

- The instances where I could get to know the employees on a personal level was great. - Open environment for the lower-level employees - Big office for amount of people working - Ping-pong table available for use

Cons

- Favoritism is rampant, especially for those given a title greater than yours - Upper management experience was for failed or no-name companies, which resulted in poor decisions that ultimately turned into setbacks - Certain people were allowed special privileges, such as working from home - Key deciding factors aren't based on performance, but experience was from 10 years ago - Some coworkers do not practice good office manners, and creepily try to hit on fellow employees - Managers deflect blame for their actions, which resulted in them riding employees to exhaustion - All the higher-ups are not well-versed in new age technologies - Employees need to be mindless, following upper management's rule, or management takes that as intolerance
