Pros

At the time, rank and file employees were hardworking and good people, that wanted to give it all for the company, despite what was really transpiring in the business.

Cons

Socialive is your classic "Zombie" company. The company was really founded more than 15 years ago and was the result of 2 other failed startups. Missed the 2021 boat of high valuations and has been decelerating ever since. The company has little no ethical standards, very questionable practices because both the two Leaders that run the company have zero clue on what they are doing. The company is ran like a "mom and pop" and I would barely call it a tech startup; It's really a "start down" or a "run down." Most people that come to Socialive learn within the first 3 months start looking for new jobs or only hang on until they are able to find a new place.

Pros

Leadership and peers showcase great integrity in how they operate – with honesty and transparency. Product is incredibly strong and differentiated. Opportunity to be category leader. While it is a culture of hard work and grit, there is a great deal of collaboration and support I get from leaders that I have never experienced in any other role. There is a drive to WIN that ripples throughout the culture, and a focus on customer satisfaction and product innovation. C-suite are innovators who have been in the space for years and helping to create the new category.

Cons

The company is fully remote, so it is important to be able to work effectively and collaborate well in a virtual environment. Fast pace, and frequently integrating learnings in a quickly-evolving space that keep you on your toes. It is exciting, but also requires nimbleness and grit.

Pros

- Strong growth trajectory supported by a proven, in-demand product and a loyal customer base - Innovative solution addressing critical challenges for Enterprise customers - Opportunity to shape the company’s vision and strategic direction -Leadership committed to driving innovation and continuous improvement

Cons

Fast paced startup where things are constantly changing and expectations shift based on needs of the business. This isn't a place where you sit in your hands and wait for work to come to you. You have the ability to create process, inject thought leadership, leverage past experiences, and ultimately define what success means. Create opportunities for not only yourself but the customers you partner with and colleagues you support.
