Pros

Free lunch and parking. Gift card to Trader Joe's for Thanksgiving, and gift for Christmas.

Cons

The environment is so toxic because of management that there's constant turnover, the employees are extremely bitter and end up taking it out on each other, and there is no structure or clear direction. The product itself is constantly changing, with no actual research set as the impetus for the changes, just the CEO deciding to redirect whenever the wind blows his way.

Pros

As hard as it is to come up with anything positive to say about this company, I’d say the compensation was the only upside.

Cons

First, I’d like to point out that I’m absolutely sure that any positive reviews left on Glassdoor for this company have been written by upper management to make up for all the negative reviews. With that being said, if you value your happiness and mental well-being, then this is not the place for you. Actv8me is hands down the most toxic place I have ever had the displeasure of working for and I do not say that lightly. Upper management fosters this toxic culture by finding any excuse to reprimand and belittle it’s employees. One member of upper management in particular will literally go out of their way to throw their colleagues under the bus, going as far as to fabricate situations on their quest to sabotage others. In addition to the sour dispositions and hostility you must endure, be prepared to suffer through a dreary work environment where everyone’s misery and discontent rubs off on one another. As far as business prospects go, nearly every lead the company manages to grasp quickly dissipates as the tech is constantly being upstaged by competitors and not unique enough that prospective clients can’t do some iteration of it on their won. With this being a “tech start up” you would think that management would be more forward thinking, but everything about the company screams boomer mentality.
