Pros

Transfr’s mission is pretty cool: "train the future of every industry and open up exciting new opportunities for talent across the globe and at home. We train people for well-paying careers available now in high-demand fields, enabling learners to find job security and upward mobility, facilitated by immersive, hands-on VR training."

Cons

Unfortunately, how we execute that mission is unbearable. There are quite a few concerns about this company and employees agree. Some of us have been here for just a few months, while others have several years under their belts, but we've all lost respect for our leadership. They keep implementing monthly changes that make it nearly impossible for us to reach our goals. Right now, more than two-thirds of the reps are significantly behind, and catching up is impossible. In fact, over half the teams are actively exploring new career options because of it. The main issues here are that blame is consistently placed on the reps, management micromanages excessively, and there's a pervasive atmosphere of belittlement all with unrealistic goals. Management isn't helping make things easier....they are making things more difficult every month. Unless you're a developer, I wouldn't recommend considering a job here.

Thank you for your feedback; your input is valued as it helps us improve. We have various internal channels for feedback including monthly retrospectives, office hours, direct CEO outreach, and an email hotline, but we appreciate you sharing your concerns here. Regarding your mention of most reps falling behind, it’s inaccurate and a result of a miscommunication. Please note that our business model doesn't follow the traditional SaaS revenue pattern. We are committed to supporting all of our reps, and are actively working with those who may need help getting back on track. We have a goal to maintain or exceed employee retention at 95% or above, and we are succeeding on that. Still, we need to listen, learn, and improve every day. We've introduced operational improvements like sales reps' activity metrics and also added sales support tools to provide concrete assistance in achieving their goals. Meetings are meant to celebrate success and share lessons learned. While we understand the pace of change can be challenging, it also brings exciting opportunities. We're committed to helping you find the best role within the company that aligns with your skills and interests if it’s not sales. Your commitment to our mission is appreciated, and we encourage you to use our feedback channels for direct assistance with any further concerns.

Transfr is a great place to work, a company that actively listens to and promotes growth for each employee. It is an inclusive culture where diverse cultures and backgrounds are celebrated.

It is a young company still growing into a sustainable structure but positioned to become one of the greats.

Pros

Great coworkers, added an extra star because though things started going downhill fast I increased skills and built my resume as a CSM.

Cons

I was so excited to get this job, only to watch the company slowly crumble before my eyes. I went in fully aware this was a startup company and expected change but it was a serious blow to mine and others daily mental health to watch colleagues and leadership be laid off for “changes in strategy or trajectory” that occurred quarterly. We’re talking full product services and verticals basically eliminated overnight. Renewals are a problem, and instead of addressing ways to tackle the issue, leadership would be changed and someone new with no experience with the product would come up with a “new and improved” solution. Additionally, I think my comp plan changed 4 times throughout my tenure due to changes in roles, territories and overall company operations.
