Pros

Met some really great colleagues, who I now call friends.

Cons

It is absolutely true about the volume of redundancies! Any CEO who has to explicitly state the he does not have the intention of firing anyone on his upcoming visit, is only further highlighting the fact that he is notorious for exhibiting tyrant behaviour... only to follow it with making over 40 people redundant globally a week later. Ansarada's financial management is appalling- employing people only to make them redundant within the month, leaving them to pick up the pieces of their dire financial situations with no support. Ansarada promised that people who were made redundant would receive suitable compensation- this was not the case, hardworking members of staff were insulted by the bare legal minimum! Salt in the wound of being made redundant effective immediately. In addition to their financial oversight, the CFO and CEO also insulted the intelligence of their 'valued' employees who saw all of this coming... from unpaid commissions, to frequent changes in the attainability of targets and filtering pressure from the top. The financial situation was obvious to everyone except the CFO who apparently was incapable of forecasting such financial issues. A whimpering apology and the minimum legal requirement in compensation is all that staff received after being put under immense pressure during the months leading up to the redundancies. It is a major insult to see that the company is now HIRING when yet again, THEY CANNOT AFFORD IT!

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.
