Pros

Flexible WFH policy Strong roster of enterprise clients/good logos

Cons

Greedy executives froze pay, laid off 150+ in the last few months. Least they can do was offer equity refreshes - nope. Barely offer any equity to begin with Awful leadership from executives through endless middle management layers.

Hello and thank you for the honest feedback. I am sorry to see that your experience as a Persadoan has not been a good one. Due to the macro economic climate, we have certainly had to make some difficult decisions to ensure the long term success of the company, as well as all Persadoans. It looks like you are a current employee -- please be sure to check out our Compensation Philosophy which provides details on our equity refresh program, as well as our very generous comp and benefits packages. I am here to talk about your Persado experience -- and would welcome the opportunity to do so. Thank you. Allison Lee, CPO

Overall it is a very collaborative environment and the team is very welcoming to new hires. The teams have deep knowledge of the platform and industry and a general passion for helping solution for customers.

Cons

A lot to learn quickly, but everyone is quite helpful.

Pros

I genuinely love working at Persado. The role and scope are exactly what I was hoping for, and the work itself is challenging in the best way. Expectations are high, but they’re paired with a product that is constantly evolving, so you’re encouraged (and expected) to keep learning, thinking creatively, and pushing yourself alongside it. The people are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and respectful. There’s a strong sense of collaboration without any pressure to perform small talk or force close friendships, which I really appreciate (as someone who prefers to keep work & life separate). You’re trusted to show up as a professional, do great work, and contribute meaningfully. Leadership gives space to operate and values good judgment and it is very much a place where ideas matter and where employees are treated like capable adults. It's by far the most empowering, encouraging environment I have ever been a part of.

Cons

The work (irrespective of department) is demanding and requires a lot of ownership and self-direction. It’s a great environment for people who like to stretch, but it’s not a place to coast.
