Pros

I believe in the product and think that it really does change lives for educational institutions , nonprofits, justice impacted individuals. There are people on my team that are wonderful and smart and have become great friends. They also recently implemented career tracks which looks good for promotion & individual career growth but the salary increases are not worth it.

Cons

Leadership has completely redone our process and KPis tripling work on the ground for CsMs. On top of that we are thrown deadline projects constantly in slack adding to stress. We have constant updates in Hardware and software that are released and not aligned at all with client capacity, creating yet again extra work & adding on constant enablement sessions to our work load. There are some decent leaders but many new ones came in with “ideas” which really just forced more work on us and created no value to our clients. CSMs are expected to own every part of the customer journey in 4-5 different verticals and travel onsite constantly- instead of spending this money on travel we need to reengage with clients better via proper segmentation.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
