Pros

A great product that has the opportunity to grow and positioned to become hugely successful. Benefits are great, work from home policy is flexible, unlimited PTO, catered lunches, snacks, and dogs in the office!

Cons

From one of the best work experiences I have ever had to one of the worst, nearly overnight. I cannot speak on behalf of employees at the Concord office, but as for working at the Atlanta office: watch out. You will be treated second-rate, like a conquered tribe, not a welcomed family. Leadership is ego-driven, with the highest tiers of leadership scrambling for control over trivial minutiae. There is zero trust there, likely because if you are an outsider, you are literally an outsider; much of the Concord office seems to be made up of personal friends and family of leadership. To make matters worse, the leadership style is poor and inflexible. There is not a growth mindset, but a ‘this-is-who-I-am-and-you-will-deal-with-it’ mindset. A poor man’s ‘boy’s club’ where even if you are somehow hired and of diverse perspectives or identities, you are required to yield to the dominant ‘monoculture’ - or you are bullied or gaslit for going ‘against the grain.’ The combined qualities above lead to a breathtaking lack of empathy and emotional intelligence. This, coupled with the tough task of managing a complicated merger during the current global pandemic shifts the aforementioned behaviors from the realm of lazy incompetence to one of apathetic cruelty. To be fair, no one expects any leadership to navigate such unprecedented circumstances without bumping into some obstacles along the way - but that is not what is happening here. From layoffs to demotions to general treatment, to leadership’s response to those things: do not expect more than one word, ‘annoyed’ answers or public and petty reprimands in the business’ Slack channel. Leadership is only child’s play when leaders are children playing.

Tripleseat Response

How it is going now 2022 edition: 2020 was a crazy year for Tripleseat, a merger with our competitor, Gather and navigating COVID. Fast forward to the new year of 2022 and Tripleseat has not only survived but thrived. Tripleseat has had less than 5% attrition of employees (Nat'l average is @ 40%) and has hired more than 30 people in 2021 alone. We have successfully brought back our company outing with a trip to Nantucket in August of 2021 and (once again) reached our company-wide goals for 2021 and everyone will share in the success with our company bonus. The merger was hard on everyone but especially for the folks at Gather. They had to deal with a lot of changes in an already confusing time with COVID. The frustration from the merger is real and the review of Tripleseat and the people reflect that, but it is not a accurate insight into our culture or leadership.
