Pros

Unlimited PTO, 90% of health coverage paid for my the company and a descent parental leave

Cons

Like many companies preparing to go public, Salsify is battling priorities and keeping up with demand. Every quarter there is a new initiative that intends to put us on “the map” but fails to follow through. There is also the loss of company culture and “values”. We have people managers that are ill equipped to people manage, they got promoted based on who they know. The PX team created a performance review / feedback process to help employees concerns on growth but all it is, is a self-driven process and places the responsibility solely on the employee to advocate for growth, which benefits a select few and marginalizes many. The loss of company culture can also be attributed to the new leadership and organizational restructure. Leaders like Mike M, have brought toxicity to sales and brought along his pals from Salesforce that enforce sexist and ageist language and actions. The company claims to be committed to diversity but every new team member added reflects the majority of the company already. Diversity sessions are not prioritized and even when you do place it on your company calendar, it’s over booked. Rarely do leaders attend these events or engage in training.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Salsify and this feedback with us. It is very important to us, particularly during this time of hyper-growth and change, that we maintain a strong and adaptive culture. We have several initiatives underway that support this, including reintroducing our values and behaviors which have evolved to both include the new companies that have joined the Salsify umbrella, and to ensure that our values and behaviors are inclusive to all. To support this, we have prioritized employee development, learning, and performance feedback to help along the way. While we do expect our employees to take an active part in their own development and feedback, we certainly agree there is a role for our leaders and managers to play, and we will be supporting our leaders in their role as well. We are just getting started on many of these things and we recognize change takes time. Our hope is that all can benefit from an overall incredible employee experience! We do realize that in a hyper-growth culture we will not always get it exactly right and will always have an opportunity to learn and do better. Feedback like this along with our internal surveys from current and past employees helps us tremendously. Thank you again for your insight. It helps to make Salsify a better company for everyone.
