RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Hootsuite full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
New CEO, trusted leadership, willingness to win
Cons
Product lags competition, product is too complicated for customers to use and very disjointed.

great to get initial experience, get to work with variety of products.
Cons
not hitting quota is normal, pay is below market average. tenured team members have commented if majority started hitting quota they'd simply raise targets, mid management has culture of supporting stars and seem content with turnover in most of the team. have to tolerate plenty of confusion in processes. steer clear if you're serious about making good comp; it isn't impossible here, but know you have to overcome a lot of bs.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Hootsuite full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
-Really great team of talented people -Learning-based role to boost career growth -Company has shifted to permanent remote options (with an office option available post-COVID)
Cons
-EXTREME lack of diversity in leadership (mostly white men). The CTO frequently talks about "diverse candidate pools" for leadership positions, but an extremely high percentage of new leaders are white men from his previous company (Sitecore) -Recently hired an SVP of sales who ran for political office on an anti-immigration platform (potentially due to a lack of DE&I checks when hiring leadership) -Lots of lipservice from the leadership team around diversity, equity, and inclusion, but no actual changes -High rate of employee turnover

Pros

Cons

Negative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Hootsuite full-time
Pros
Great coworkers Mid-level managers are trying their hardest to shield people from senior product leadership missteps and incompetence (directors, VPs) Good work-life balance
Cons
People joke about sitecore mob but it's no joke. Senior product leadership is highly opinionated but incompetent. They are not product people. They should be in marketing or sales. High turnover, this will continue if we don't make changes in the product leadership.
