Pros

They are very good at writing these reviews. They are using some intern to start keeping the score up and now are paying for reviews.

Cons

-CEO is incredibly arrogant and lies a lot. -The product doesn't at all capture close to what they say it does. -Half of the product presentation is fake--NO AI for example! -Lots of senior managers were fired recently. -It's a French Club and NOT great for Americans. -You really have to put up with tremendous amounts of arrogance -THERE IS NO UPWARD MOBILITY!! -No culture

This comment is completely false and describe practices that do not exist! We never had an intern working on posting fake comments and never paid anyone to post 5 stars reviews on our page. These are false and defamatory statements! We always embrace feedback and make sure to reply to negative ones to show how much we care about offering the best Employee Experience possible to our teams. However, we cannot tolerate attacks based on false allegations. Other points mentioned in this comment are not accurate and/or biased : 1/ concerning arrogance : in our last employee survey 100% of our US team members were satisfied with the relationships with their colleagues and 89% considered that everyone has a chance to raise their voice within the team. Finally, 82% said they are confident in CS's Executive Comittee. 2/ concerning the product: Our high retention rate (95%) and our high Net Promoter Score (NPS = 40) prove how much our customers love and recommend our product. AI is used today in CS product to do time series prediction/anomaly detection (AI alerts feature available for all customers). As of today, a team of 8 data scientists is working on upcoming new features using various AI algorithms (mainly deep learning & expert systems) 3/ concerning the US office being a "french club": we have 57 employees as of today with 10 different nationalities and 67% of americans (vs 17% of french people). 4/ concerning firing: we have open about 100 new positions worldwide in 2019. As any fast growing company some people leave but we have just hired 4 Senior Leaders in the US: a Global CFO, a Chief Legal Officer, 1 SVP and 1 RVP Sales. 5/ concerning the "no culture": the survey also showed that 82% of our US team members feel connected to the company values and 86% declare being proud to work for CS. Also for your information, we have put in place an employee-led culture crew with a dedicated budget to strengthen happiness at work through culture initiatives. Last but not least, we just hired a people manager in the US who will be another asset in building proximity and support with our teams. Best, Célia DÖRR - Chief People Officer @Contentsquare

Pros

- the people (i work with on a daily basis). i've heard some not-so-great things and reviews about people in other departments, but i'm lucky to work with great people in my department and know many kind and hard working people here. - unlimited pto - hybrid - nice offices

Cons

there's good reason behind the overall rating of this company and % approval of the ceo are dropping. the company is not what it used to be. during the first ~6 months i thought it was so exciting and a super unique unicorn company, however, right after that you start to notice all of the things wrong with it. the overall culture also took a huge hit within the last year or so. after the last round of lay-offs, SO MANY people then left on their own because of burnout from the unorganized chaos + more money since it's fairly rare to get a significant enough raise here. i envy the people who got out before the ship sank - senior leadership who probably have no idea what we actually do beneath them aka lack of visibility and no clear path for growth - leadership changes and lay-offs left and right - LACK OF DIVERSITY.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for the more than three years you’ve spent with us, especially during a time of significant change. We’ve had to make some difficult decisions over the past few years, including including organizational changes as we've merged companies, cultures, and products together into one platform. These were not taken lightly, and we recognize the impact they’ve had on teams, morale, and our employees day-to-day experience. We also hear your point around compensation. We’d encourage you to speak with your manager to better understand how salary reviews and compensation decisions are approached, salary bands, and how this connects to your role and progression. You also raise important points around leadership visibility, growth, and inclusion. We know these matter, and they’re areas we’re actively working on... particularly around making growth paths clearer and strengthening connection between leadership and teams. As a current employee, we’d encourage you to share this feedback directly with your manager (in addition to the compensation piece), connect with your People Business Partner, or take part in our annual engagement survey launching in May/ quarterly pulse surveys so it can help shape ongoing action plans. Your voice really matters in how we move forward.
