Great so far, but room for improvement!

Pros

No micro management. Freedom to manage your own calendar. Huge logos to work with. CEO has been honest on the all hands calls. Opportunities for employees to be promoted. 100% remote. Annual company’s getaways to San Francisco.

Cons

Very little in the way of celebrating diversity and inclusion (the slack channel has had no activity since September 2021). Layoffs in April reminds that we are not immune to the macro economic environment.

Fun culture at the bottom, great employees, poor leadership, toxic politics

Pros

Classic start up perks: fully remote, unlimited PTO, lavish off-sites. 80% of the employees I worked with were great people

Cons

I spent just over two years at VergeSense, and as mentioned by some others, the founders are pretty clueless. They developed a great product (despite issues that really upset some pretty major clients early on), but if you asked either of them to name 5 people in the organization that don't report directly to them, they'd struggle to name even one. That's a pretty glaring issue when you consider that there are only like 120 employees left. When the CEO has no idea what's going on because he spends half the year in Turkey, it fosters an environment of toxic office politics, backstabbing, and manipulation. It leads to an unqualified CRO at a pretty crucial point in the path to profitability, or a VP of product who refuses to take any insight or feedback regarding the product that every client is complaining about. What it doesn't lead to is the behemoth IPO that they still seem to be fantasizing about for some reason? Smart money at this point is on a lackluster acquisition and disappointed investors.

Thank you for taking the time to share your VergeSense experience and review on Glassdoor. It's important for us to hear what we are doing well and what we need to improve upon. We appreciate you highlighting some of the perks available to all VergeSensians including unlimited PTO and planned offsites throughout the year. It's important to us that we treat all teammates as professionals, support work/life balance, and are creating meaningful opportunities to bring our globally distributed teams closer together to collaborate, foster stronger connections with one another, and have fun. We recognize from your review that we have let you down in other aspects and we take ownership in that - we can always improve and feedback like this drives us to do so. We wish you would have shared your experience with us either through our anonymous speak up channel or even directly to the HR team so we could have addressed this head on while you were still at VergeSense. Regardless, your feedback is something we are taking seriously and will look into further. Thank you again for your review. We want all teammates to trust in the decisions and actions of our leadership and feel that VergeSense is a place where we consistently live our core values.

Great employees, terrible executive team

Pros

Great teams. All employees are giving everything. Leads and managers are competent across the board. Everyone is supporting each other.

Cons

The new executive team: frat boys are owning the place. Empty words and bossing around. It is truly disheartening. The company will not scale
