Pros

- People were friendly - Had a great culture - Christmas trips - Good work/life Balance

Cons

Ansarada is currently facing some very tough times ahead, recently having made atleast 40% of their employees redundant. Most of these employees had brilliant qualities and some of these people were very hardworking and talented individuals. They have lost a significant sum of their investment and now have to continue to downsize in order to maintain themselves. There was a sense of fear whenever the CEO visited any of the offices. This is probably because he had a reputation to fire someone every visit he made. He seems like a good person with good intentions. However, those intentions did not come clear. He felt the need to critique almost anything and everything. He is self-centred, has a very strong ego and makes it clear to everyone that he's a "genius". Yes, the reviews are true, he was supposed to give those who were made redundant a "good severance package", this unfortunately was not the case. Some ex employees have still not been compensated for certain things. Theres a lot that could be said about the CEO, but that should give you a small insight. There seemed to be so many changes with the product, where it was not stable for employees to get a clear message across to clients. Changes are always for the better, however, Ansarada did this too often, which turned out sour for them. Whether or not this review will be posted on Glassdoor will remain a mystery, some of the reviews in the past have been taken away (paid by the CEO). Ansarada had amazing potential but it has officially come to the end of its journey.

Pros

During my time at Ansarada, I was very pleased with the value that was placed on the employee experience. The culture is great and the people are some of the best I’ve had the pleasure of working with. The emphasis on collaboration fosters relationships built across business silos and individuals are given the opportunity to play to their strengths and lean on the strengths of others to achieve a common goal. There is an ever increasing amount of attention devoted to development and enablement, for example the company wide book clubs and the new tools that constantly being added to empower employees. They are hiring some of the best leaders from some of the top SaaS companies in the world and you can already see some of the influences that these new additions are bringing to the table.

Cons

Ansarada is very well established in many other regions of the world and now the focus is on taking the factors that have garnered such traction globally and making them a staple here in the US. With penetrating any new market comes challenges and growing pains. Some things work in one market that don’t necessarily work in other markets. What matters is that management is paying attention to what works and what doesn’t and adjustments are made swiftly. This can cause a lot of change and requires a lot of agility from employees, but would you rather a company that doesn’t adapt? I honestly believe that Ansarada is on the right track for delivering a platform that empowers businesses to be better prepared to execute when opportunity presents itself.

Pros

Absolutely none. Sorry to say.

Cons

Judgmental aggressive work environment in USA. Really bad. No training and no support. They rent the office in Chicago because they know they won't be here for long.
