Pros

- Very confident & friendly staff - Strong social & drinking culture - You gain experience quickly - Start-up culture

Cons

- Huge lack of direction from management - Poor overall company direction and branding strategy - No opportunity to progress unless you're working in sales - Graduates and junior members of staff are massively taken advantage of and paid poorly - Huge salary discrepancies between managers and staff - Poor communication between departments - each department only interested in looking after themselves - No cohesive motivation or reward structure for staff - A very arrogant, private-school culture - where intimidation through intelligence is key to getting where you want to be

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your review; all feedback is welcome. We have very granular progression paths at Pulsar. However, if you were part of a new team in a new function you might not have been exposed to a granular enough path, which is something that we have now addressed within our new team structures. We're sorry you feel you haven't had clear direction from your line manager. We have now implemented tighter processes to make sure team managers are communicating the company strategy clearly to their team as well as updates are shared to the wider company by the management team on a regular basis. We pride ourselves on having a flat hierarchy which harnesses a collaborative and supportive culture. Our salaries are benchmarked on a number of factors and we feel that these are reflective of market rate and our industry. We live and die by the quality of execution and everybody at Pulsar pride themselves on the quality of their work. As you can see from other reviews below the team is proud of our product and that's what glues us together. We're sorry if this came across as intimidating. Pulsar are always looking for ways in which we can improve in all areas so appreciate your thoughts above and we wish you well with your future endeavours.

Pros

Fun space to work in (social media), young and tech savvy clientele.

Cons

Healthcare is garbage if you live in the US, and if you get laid off, they'll take your healthcare away EOD the day you get laid off and not send you any COBRA options for at least a week, leaving you completely uninsured with no notice. One month severance. Global team does not care about accessibility when it comes to remote colleagues, frequently talking over one another in group meetings so that anyone online cannot hear anything, making meetings cliquey and unproductive. Sales wildly oversells the product leading to disappointment in the kickoff/training. Product has really significant issues and downtime but the already overwhelmed support team has been cut in recent layoffs. Pay is incredibly low, and OTE is not attainable with the number of issues the product has. No raises in span of working there, even after Cost of Living discussions in annual reviews. They will gladly ask for more work from you but will not give you more money for it.
