Pros

The product works and there are happy customers.

Cons

Toxic, misogynistic culture. The leadership literally hasn't got a clue and is basically a bunch of straight white guys slapping each other on the back as their strategy continues to bear any fruit whatsoever. The place is complete chaos in terms of it's processes, and sales leadership involves screaming at the team to "sell more, sell more" with little to no actual sales leadership craft involved.

Gloat Response
2y
All feedback is gold - and we appreciate this point of view as such. While there were some aspects you enjoyed about Gloat, we've also noted your concerns. Though you're no longer an employee, we would appreciate if you connected with your former HR Partner - we take terms like "toxic" and "misogynistic" very seriously. As we analyze our successes and areas of opportunity, we are redefining a lot within the org. While we adapt on our sales strategies, we are also focusing on specific process improvements that will make a significant impact for all internal and external stakeholders.

Pros

Gloat has really strong product leadership and vision and is doing some of the most genuinely innovative work in the space.

Cons

Resources always constrained, like in any startup environment. Extreme ownership and hustle is the default here. Not for everyone.

Pros

Product fit for many large org's

Cons

Leadership does not trust sales rep's, many employees monitoring tools in place. All discovery calls and demo's recorded in Gong, then analyzed and heavily criticized in follow up emails by leadership. Rep's required to conduct their own demo's, no SC support. Customers are not renewing and many ongoing implementations have issues supporting go-live. Reps are losing to prospects current tech stack vs. adding a new vendor. Just this month laid off 20% of workforce, completely unannounced. Very low moral. Lastly, if you are considering a position with Gloat, should they ever be able to hire again, be diligent and reach out to current and past sales to get an honest opinion of a day in the life here. Any/all positive reviews are posted by current leadership to pad the reviews.
