Beware!! "Great culture" portrayed is for optics to impress customers and investors. Also to entice new talent. - Sales Associate Skedulo Employee Review

Pros

There are a handful of SOLID folks that work there and are spread throughout the organization. Their product had great potential and worked really well as it was initially intended to be used in conjunction with a very powerful CRM . Great benefits, generous comp, but that's only a + if you can hold on to your job long enough to reap the the benefits.

Cons

Tons of turnover. Hostile takeover from a C-level executive that methodically hired several previous employees/coworkers. They wiped out 80% of the sales team including sales leader in one big swoop. Most had been there less than 8 months which in enterprise sales is not nearly enough time to put numbers on the board. Some were selling and everyone had opps in pipeline. They called it a "reduction in workforce" but then turned around and hired a bunch of new sales people under the new regime. The product as it was initially derived from another GREAT platform was good. Then they wanted to start pivoting away from that platform to gain more autonomy and created a stand alone platform which does not work and was very difficult to pitch to prospects. Especially once they got to demo phase. In sales presentations, solutions team could not successfully demonstrate that the product would actually solve their challenges or was even a fit for their use case. They were all over the place when it came to targeting customers and use cases. Total disconnect between sales, marketing, and executive leadership. 90% of "target" industries weren't truly vetted out, there were no account based marketing efforts going on to gauge actual market interest, and other then a couple niche industries, they never successfully determined who their target customer was. They were shooting in a barrel!
