Cutting edge technology with a cutting edge team! - Marketing and Partnerships Insight Engines Employee Review

It has been a long time for me since I worked in a small startup but here I feel like I've made a good choice. The team has been awesome in helping me get acclimated to the environment and technology: I never felt judged when asking for help and given the time needed to learn new stuff - being the new guy is never easy. The tech is a lot more exciting than may seem to the outsider and I think this is one of those startups that has a lot of potential to be successful. Management is intelligent, approachable and treats people with respect and appreciation and very responsive to family needs like PTO and WFH. Free lunches and snacks are a plus and the team knows how to have fun so good conversation is never in shortage. CEO is very passionate about the product and has a solid vision but also a very nice guy and never forgets to thank the people that make it happen and is very open to the input from the team. Unlike in a big shop I feel a lot more integral to the team and the product.

Medical benefits are more expensive than some of the big companies and the stock options don't have the same immediate benefit as in a public company but could be well worth for those that stick around.

Anyone from any organization would be quick to agree: a great team and a product that addresses market needs are crucial keys to success. This is true for any company, big or small—but arguably more critical within a startup, where there are fewer people working towards big goals. Here is where Insight Engines truly shines. Our team is driven, intelligent, and eager to create products that save time and solve problems for our users. Everyone strives to go above and beyond, but without ego. Management consists of passionate, well-spoken, and bright leaders who are always willing to provide guidance but also learn from their own team (which is something really special). We get things done while having a healthy work-life balance. Unlimited PTO, fun team events and free lunches are a nice added plus.

Like most startups of this size, there is less structure provided upfront (i.e. guidelines for goals and tasks to accomplish by a certain time). This could be challenging for some folks—but really exciting for others who would like to carve their own path!
